Countdown Sprint

It's one minute to midnight and there are ten quick tasks to clear, each with a new rule: tap every gold star, every date in January, every clock showing midnight; spell PARTY; count down from 6. Ten seconds each at most. Read the rule, nail it, beat midnight.

How to play

Read the rule. Every task has a new one: tap every match, or tap in order. The rule changes every time.
Tap fast, tap right. Tap the tiles or press 1 to 6. A wrong tap is a slip: −20, but the task goes on.
Ten seconds each. A task has up to 10 seconds, and the midnight clock keeps running. Time's up pays 10 per right tap.
Beat midnight. Up to 150 per task for speed. Get through all ten before midnight: +10 per second left.

Quick tips

Read the whole rule first. Half a second on "after 11:30" saves a slip on 11:29.
Two features, two checks. For "gold star", check the colour and the shape on every tile.
