A lightning-fast reaction game that'll test your reflexes and drive you absolutely bonkers!
KeepUp is an adrenaline-pumping iOS reaction game that challenges your reflexes, memory, and multitasking skills! Think you're quick? Think you can keep up? This game will put your reaction time to the ultimate test with a variety of gestures and commands that'll have you swiping, tapping, and pinching like a maniac!
- Listen carefully - The game will announce what gesture you need to perform
- React quickly - You have limited time to complete the action (varies by difficulty)
- Don't mess up - One wrong move and it's GAME OVER!
- Keep going - Each correct action increases your score
- Beat your high score - Challenge yourself to do better each time!
The game features 8 different gesture types that will be randomly selected:
| Gesture | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| LEFT! | Swipe Left | Drag your finger from right to left |
| RIGHT! | Swipe Right | Drag your finger from left to right |
| UP! | Swipe Up | Drag your finger from bottom to top |
| DOWN! | Swipe Down | Drag your finger from top to bottom |
| Single tap! | Single Tap | Tap the screen once |
| Double tap! | Double Tap | Tap the screen twice quickly |
| Zoom in! | Pinch Out | Pinch outward to zoom in |
| Zoom out! | Pinch In | Pinch inward to zoom out |
Choose your challenge level:
- 🟢 EASY - 1.8 seconds to react (shows direction on screen)
- 🟡 MEDIUM - 1.5 seconds to react (audio only)
- 🔴 HARD - 1.0 seconds to react (audio only)
Note: Medium and Hard difficulties rely purely on audio cues - no visual hints!
