About game
Reflex fanatics will find their new obsession in Microcontrol, a fast-paced test of precision and nerves. You guide a glowing orb through a swarm of hazards that grow thicker by the second. Your orb trails your cursor or finger with silky smoothness as you weave through tight gaps. Every movement requires total focus because the arena fills with red warning lines and exploding circles that leave no room for error. Staying alive for thirty seconds puts you in the elite bracket of scorers. You can boost your multiplier by grazing past projectiles, turning every near-miss into a massive point gain. This casual arcade title turns simple mouse movements into high-stakes survival. Check your reaction speed and climb the global leaderboard directly in your browser without any downloads required.
How to play
On desktop: move the mouse — the orb chases the cursor. Space or right click to dash. Esc pauses, R restarts, M toggles sound.
On mobile: drag anywhere on the screen and the orb copies your motion. Tap with a second finger to dash.
The goal is to last as long as possible. Pass close to projectiles without touching them to build your score multiplier. A red line warns of an incoming shot, an orange circle explodes after a second and a half, a purple projectile chases you but turns slowly.
