Eye Movement - How to Play Step by Step
Eye Movement is a smooth-pursuit eye tracking challenge that measures your "psychopath score". This step-by-step guide walks you through everything you need to start playing.
What You Need to Know First
Before you start, understand the basic loop: you'll be presented with a challenge, you respond as quickly and accurately as possible, and your score reflects how well you did. There's no penalty for a slow start — the game gives you room to learn.
Step 1: Start the Game
Click the start button on the game screen. The interface will shift from the instructions panel to the active play area.
Step 2: Understand the Controls
Most challenges in this category use click, tap, or keyboard input. Read the on-screen instructions before your first attempt — they tell you exactly which input the game expects.
Step 3: Play Your First Round
Don't aim for a high score on your first attempt. Instead, focus on understanding the rhythm of the game. Notice when the pacing speeds up and where mistakes are most likely.
Step 4: Review and Improve
After each round, look at where you lost points. Most players improve dramatically between their first and third attempts simply by recognizing the pattern.
Common Beginner Mistakes
- Rushing the first few seconds — this is where most points are lost
- Ignoring the visual cues — the game telegraphs what's coming
- Playing while distracted — this genre rewards full attention
How Long Does It Take to Get Good?
Most players reach a competent level within 5 to 10 rounds. Reaching a high score typically takes 20 to 30 attempts of deliberate practice.
