Hold your focus through a timed sprint, swatting each temptation pop-up away before its ring closes, and never tapping the pop-up itself.
Was this fun?
How to play
A focus tree grows at the center while distraction pop-ups appear on a set schedule. Dismiss each one before its closing ring runs out to keep your streak and grow the tree. Tapping the pop-up itself means giving in: your streak breaks and the tree withers. Survive the sprint to bank the growth.
Watch for pop-ups and swat them away before the ring closes
On-time dismissals build a streak and grow your focus tree
Tapping a pop-up directly counts as giving in and withers the tree
Reach the end of the sprint to bank your score

Watch the timeline ticks so you can react the instant a pop-up appears rather than hunting for it
