Lightning-Fast Fun: Building Your Reflex Game

The Reflex Game is an addictive, high-speed challenge where players race to tap targets as they light up. It is simple, fun, and designed for maximum replay-ability. This game is perfect for high-energy brand campaigns where speed and engagement are the top priorities.

Note: This guide focuses specifically on the set-up of the Reflex Game. For general setup and offer configuration, see our Design Your First Experience guide.

Journey Overview

Step 1: The Starting Line - Choosing your creation path.
Step 2: The Arena - Setting up your Background, Containers, and Objects.
Step 3: The Scoreboard - Configuring your Score Panel

Step 1: The Starting Line (Setup)

To get your targets popping, you first need to choose your creation path:

Step 2: Designing the Arena (Gameplay)

In the right-hand panel of the Reflex Game Frame, you will find all the elements needed to define the visual world of your game:

Background: This asset serves as the "floor" or frame for your game.
Container: This is the "target area" where objects appear (think of a "hole" for a mole or a "basket" for an apple).
Object: This is the star of the show—the asset that appears and disappears for players to hit to earn points.

Logic & Timing

Field Mapping: Use the dropdown to select Score. This ensures player performance is correctly mapped to your reporting dashboard.
Game Clock: You can now set your challenge duration more precisely using separate Minutes and Seconds fields.
Time Left: Set your game duration in seconds.
- Minimum: 5 seconds.
- Maximum: 300 seconds.
Example: For a 3-minute challenge, set the timer to 180 seconds.
Time Over Message: Personalize the text players see when the clock hits zero (e.g., "Game Over!").
Styling: Customize the font and size of the points that pop up upon a hit.

Pro Tip: Keep reflex games short (30-60 seconds) to maintain high intensity and encourage users to hit that "Play Again" button.

Step 4: The Scoreboard

The Score Panel is where you control the game's difficulty and visual polish. Edit the background color, font style, and size of your in-game scoreboard.
