The loop

Four steps, one high score

From landing on the page to posting a score — the entire flow.

1

Pick a mode

Choose 10s (quick), 30s, 60s (endurance) or Endless. Each measures your clicks-per-second over a different window.

2

Press Start

Hit the Start button — or just tap the spacebar and the timer begins instantly. The countdown and progress bar kick in.

3

Tap as fast as you can

Hammer the spacebar (or the on-screen key on mobile) until time runs out. Your clicks and live CPS update every frame.

4

Review & climb

See your total clicks, average and max CPS, earn badges, share your score, and post it to the global leaderboard.

Speed tips

How to click the spacebar faster

The average player sustains 6–7 CPS. These techniques are how top players reach 10–14+.

Use two fingers

Alternate your index and middle finger on the spacebar instead of hammering with one. This is the single biggest jump in CPS most players make.

Stay relaxed

Tension tires your hand and slows you down. Keep your wrist loose and let your fingers bounce off the key.

Find a rhythm

Steady, even taps beat frantic random bursts. A metronome-like cadence keeps your CPS high for the whole round.

Warm up first

Do a couple of throwaway 10-second sprints before a serious attempt. Warm fingers are faster fingers.

Pick the right mode

Chasing peak CPS? Use 10s. Building endurance? Grind 60s. Endless is great for finding your natural sustainable pace.

Practise short sprints

Repeated 10-second runs build muscle memory faster than a few long sessions. Consistency compounds.

What counts as a good score?

Most people press the spacebar about 6–7 times per second. A good, fast score is 8–10 CPS, and elite players sustain 10–14+ CPS. Run the 10-second test to measure yours, then try the 60-second endurance mode to see if you can hold it.

Put it into practice

Warm up, use two fingers, find your rhythm — and go for a new personal best.
