Stick Hero

Stick Hero is a famous one-button timing game. Your little ninja stands on top of a pillar, the next pillar waits somewhere across a gap, and the only way over is a magic stick that grows as long as you hold the button.

Press and hold the mouse button or your finger to stretch the stick upward, then release to let it fall across the gap. If it is the right length, the hero walks across safely and you score a point. Too short and he drops into the gap; too long and he walks off the end - either way the game is over. Every pillar has a small red spot in the middle, and landing the tip of your stick exactly on it gives you bonus points. Cherries sometimes appear under the bridge, and you can tap while walking to flip the hero upside down to collect them - just remember to flip back before you reach the next pillar.

The gaps and pillar sizes change every time, so judge each one fresh. For a very similar challenge, try JAGO.
