74/100

Fast First is essentially a digital version of the 'slap' game, and it’s surprisingly effective at inducing palm-sweating tension. The premise is as simple as it gets: two players, one device, and a visual cue that tells you when to strike. It’s a pure test of neurological response time that strips away the fluff of modern mobile gaming to find something visceral and competitive.

While the solo mode is a decent way to sharpen your reflexes and track your physiological limits, the game truly shines in local multiplayer. Sitting across from a friend and trying to out-twitch them creates a genuine social spark. The minimalist aesthetic keeps the focus entirely on the reaction window, though the lack of deep progression or varied modes might limit its longevity for some. It’s a sharp, focused tool for settling bets and testing who actually has the fastest fingers in the room.

There’s not much to say about Fast First because there’s not much to the 'game.' You wait for a signal, and you tap. That’s it. It’s the kind of thing you might use to prove to your friends that you have faster reflexes, but it’s not something you’d play for enjoyment. At 40, my reflexes aren't what they used to be, and this game does a great job of reminding me of that fact.

Technically, it works—the input lag is minimal, which is the only thing that matters here. But the lack of any real progression, variety, or interesting visuals makes it incredibly dull. It feels like a project a student would make in their first week of programming. It’s functional, but it’s not fun. I’d rather play something with actual substance.
