Escapa! – Dexterity training webgame


Fighter pilot dexterity training game

Apparently fighter pilots not only get to fly extremely fast jets and blow things up, they also get to play amusing web-games that test their dexterity, hand/eye coordination and many other human attributes. Escapa! is a simple web-based interactive game, which is similar to the ones used by fighter pilots in-training around the world. The goal of the “game” is to hold a block, while avoiding collisions with other blocks which are moving around you, which seems simple enough. According to the creator of the game, average fighter pilots are supposed to last up to 2 minutes in this exercise, which would explain why I’m not a fighter pilot, seeing as I can’t even break 30 seconds. :(
