[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":-1},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-seo:stopTheBar":3},{"description":4,"seo":5,"faq":8},"Stop the Bar is a one-button timing game. A white marker sweeps back and forth along a track, and you have to stop it while it is inside the green zone: click or tap the STOP button, or press the Space bar on a keyboard. Every stop that lands inside the zone clears a round. The next round moves the zone to a random spot, makes it narrower and sends the marker faster. One stop outside the zone ends the run, and your score is the number of rounds you cleared.\n\nThe difficulty climbs quickly. In round 1 the green zone covers about a third of the track (32%), and the marker crosses the whole track in roughly 0.8 seconds. Each cleared round trims the zone by 15%, so by round 8 it is less than a tenth of the track, and from round 13 it stays at its 5% minimum while the marker keeps accelerating. Runs are graded D (0–2 rounds), C (3–5), B (6–9), A (10–14) and S (15 or more).\n\nReacting the moment the marker touches the zone works early on, but at higher speeds it is already too late. Watch the zone rather than the marker, learn the rhythm of the sweep and press a fraction of a second early. Your best run goes to the ranking (global or your country; all-time, daily or weekly), and a challenge link lets a friend try to beat your round count.",{"ogTitle":6,"ogDescription":7},"Stop the Bar | Timing Game with a Shrinking Green Zone - Giggleus","🎯 Stop the sweeping marker inside the green zone.
