Here’s some more Flash-based online entertainment … Like most addictive games, Escapa is very, very simple. There’s a red square in a field of white that you control with your mouse. Four blue rectangles of varying shapes move around the same field and you have to avoid them and the black border. It’s easy until the blue shapes start moving faster and faster. You’re doing well if you break 18 seconds.

Rumour has it that this game is used to test hand-eye coordination in US Air Force Pilots. Here’s the secret behind the game: The motion of the blue shapes isn’t random. Yes, they move faster and faster, but the more you play, the more you realize that they follow a script. Knowing this will help you master at least the first 15 seconds. You will be doing well to beat this time, because tfter that, everything gets incredibly fast!
