See If You Can Get 1-Up

How fast can your eyes go?

In the flash, fast paced game 1-Up, you see 3 small boxes on the screen and you have to find the little mushroom hidden under one of them. The game starts with the 3 small 3-D boxes and an arrow pointing to one of them (where the mushroom is hiding behind). All 3 boxes are identical of course. Each round gets faster. So the first round is relatively easy. Also, each round seems to last a little longer (I am not sure if in reality this is the case or it just seems so because it gets harder.)

Why I like to play 1-Up

I found 1-Up to be a lot of fun. The game is a real test for how good your eyes are at following things around the screen. What I learnt was that by having (or developing) a skill for this kind of game, you will probably be good at other games that require good eye focus, which are a lot of online flash games. I personally really enjoyed it as it became increasingly challenging but did not require me to think, just focus. I like the games that I can just use natural skills for, rather than sit back and think, but that is just a personal thing. Also, I found that the more that I focused on the game (and that comes with practice), the more I wanted to focus on it. And the more you do that, the faster you start thinking and the more exciting the game becomes!
