Mouse Skill Games
These games are won by the hand holding the mouse.
Reflex games for a steady hand
Everything on this page depends on how well you control the pointer. Sometimes that means precise aim, sometimes it means clicking at the right split second. Knife Rain is about staying clear of blades that fall from above. Fruit Blaster and Katana Fruits go the other way, with fruit to cut, and the trick there is to swipe through several pieces in one motion. All of them are free, and a new attempt takes one click.
Tap the Frog and Color Line are short tests of timing, and Will Hero Online stretches quick clicks into a longer run with a hero. Zball Football and Bananamania are also in the list.
Most of these also work on a touchscreen, where your finger takes the place of the mouse. Short rounds make them good for a quick break, and it is easy to hit restart and try to beat the last score.
