Coordinate Drift

A dot drifts around the arena — and every 10 seconds it gets faster. Keep your cursor inside it for the whole 20-second round. Your score: the share of time you spent on target.

How to play

  1. Press Start and place your cursor on the dot.

  3. Time on target accumulates live in the stats bar.
  4. After 20 seconds you get your on-target percentage.

Frequently asked questions

How does Coordinate Drift work?

A dot drifts around the arena, bouncing off the walls — and speeds up every 10 seconds. Keep your cursor (or finger, on touch screens) inside it. Your score is the percentage of the 20-second round spent on target.

What is a good score?

First-timers usually land between 25% and 45%. Above 65% is excellent tracking, and 85%+ means you are leading the dot instead of chasing it. The second half of the round is roughly twice as fast as the first.

What does this actually test?

Visuomotor tracking — the closed-loop skill of steering a pointer toward a moving target. It is the same ability you use in video games, driving, sports and any precision mouse work.

Mouse or touch — which works?

Both. The dot follows any pointer movement: a mouse, a trackpad, or a finger dragged across the screen. Mouse users tend to score higher because wrist micro-corrections are finer than finger drags.

Any tips for staying on target?

Watch the dot itself, not your cursor. Anticipate wall bounces half a beat early, and make small smooth corrections instead of big jerky ones — overcorrection is the number one score killer.
