Instructions

Hairspring

A watch hand sweeps the dial. Tap inside the glowing arc and it snaps back the other way, faster each time, with three coils to spare.

Play Hairspring

Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.

How to play

  • Tap, click or press Space when the hand is inside the arc.
  • P to pause.

On touch

  • Tap anywhere when the hand is inside the glowing arc.

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.

Maker’s note

One tap and one rule: be inside the arc. The arcs get narrower and the hand quicker with every hit, and hitting the centre scores double. Arc positions come from a seed, so a daily run is the same dial for everyone.
