What is Target Rush?

Target Rush tests fast, accurate pointing. A circular target appears at one position for a limited period, then a new target replaces it elsewhere. You are trying to complete distinct opportunities, not generate the largest number of clicks.

The target’s center is a more reliable aim point than its edge. A hit near the end of a period still counts, but arriving earlier improves the displayed score and gives you more time to prepare for the next position.

Rules and controls

  1. Hit the current target while it is visible.
  2. Each target can count only once, even if you continue tapping its old location.
  3. A click outside the target counts as a mistake.
  4. When the target changes, stop chasing the previous position and acquire the new one.
Controls

Click or tap the target. Keyboard users can focus the target control with Tab and activate it with Enter.

Scoring and rewards

Successful targets count toward objective coverage. Faster hits improve raw score; inaccurate extra taps reduce precision. Reward performance uses the proportion of objectives completed and precision, rather than raw click speed alone.

Points and XP scale with objective performance, precision, and round length. At full reward performance, a 30-second round earns up to 20 base points and 30 XP. Each level gained adds a 0.1% point bonus. Guest practice has no reward balance.

For eligible rewarded rounds, points remain pending until the sponsored claim’s 12 seconds of focused time and fresh hCaptcha are complete. No ad click or purchase is required.

How difficulty changes

The target period becomes shorter and the hit area becomes smaller as daily difficulty rises. Accuracy becomes more valuable because correcting a miss consumes a larger part of the remaining opportunity.

Difficulty increases after every three starts of this game during a UTC day, up to level 10, and resets at 00:00 UTC. Your player level and its point bonus are separate from the game’s daily difficulty.

Strategy

Build a repeatable approach

Aim through the center and release after one confident input. Treat the pause until the next target as preparation time.

Improve your next attempt

Keep your hand near the center of the playfield between distant targets, rather than dragging along the edge of the board.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

A worked round

  1. A target appears in the upper-right area.
  2. Move to its center and click once while it remains active.
  3. When its hit state appears, wait for the next target instead of clicking repeatedly.

Common mistakes

  • Tapping a target again after it has already been hit.
  • Aiming at the disappearing edge while the next target is arriving.
  • Trying to repair a missed opportunity after its period has ended.

Questions

The score summarizes this game’s objectives and mistakes. Reward performance is calculated against this game’s own objective benchmark, then scaled by round length. Review the base points and level bonus on your claim receipt.
