Quick draw

Wait for green, then draw. Best of five. Draw too soon and you lose the round.

P1 draws with A, P2 draws with L.

How to play Quick draw

Quick draw is a two-player reflex duel. Both players wait while the screen counts down, then the moment it flashes the green signal, the first to press their key wins the round. Press too early, before the signal, and you lose the round on a false start. Watch out for fake-outs that try to make you twitch early. Play one versus one on a single keyboard or against a bot solo. The duel runs as a best of five, so the steadier hand wins.

Tips

Wait for the green, a false start hands the round to your rival
Rest your finger lightly on the key so you can fire instantly
Ignore the fake-outs, only the real signal counts
Stay calm after a loss, rushing the next round causes false starts

About Quick draw

Quick draw is a pure test of reaction time dressed up as a duel. The tension lives in the wait: hold steady, ignore the fake-outs, and slam the key the instant green appears. Rounds last a heartbeat, so a best of five flies by. Play a friend on one keyboard or a bot solo, free and in the browser.
