RuneBlast – Rune Match Reflex

RuneBlast displays a large glowing rune symbol carved in molten amber at the centre of the screen. Around it sit four answer tiles each showing a different rune. Your job is to tap the tile whose rune matches the centre symbol before a countdown timer runs out. The runes are drawn from a pool of 24 authentic Elder Futhark symbols — angular shapes that look strikingly similar at speed. Distractors are chosen specifically from the same visual family as the correct answer so you cannot rely on obvious differences. Tap the right rune and a new one appears instantly with the timer reset. Tap wrong and you lose two seconds from the clock plus one of your three lives. The timer starts at ten seconds and shrinks by half a second for every five correct answers, so the game demands faster and faster recognition the longer you survive. Three lives total — lose them all and the run ends.
