A cognitive brain training minigame that challenges your reaction time and mental agility.
Quick Arrows is an engaging brain training game that tests your ability to quickly process visual information and make split-second decisions. The game progressively increases in difficulty, making it perfect for improving cognitive flexibility and reaction speed.

The goal is simple: respond to arrows by pressing the correct direction key (WASD) or swiping on mobile devices. But here's the twist - the color of the arrow determines what action you need to take:
- 🔵 Blue Arrow: Press the direction the arrow is pointing
- 🟠 Orange Arrow: Press the OPPOSITE direction of where the arrow is pointing
- 🟢 Green Arrow: Look at the arrow above and respond as if that arrow were blue or orange
- Desktop: Use WASD keys (W=Up, A=Left, S=Down, D=Right)
- Mobile: Swipe in the correct direction
- Each correct response earns you 1 point
- The game starts easy but gets progressively harder as your score increases
- Timer speed increases with higher scores
- Arrow color distribution becomes more challenging over time
- Score of 100+ is considered excellent performance
