ReactionTime is a visual reflex game. It is a simple game that times how long it takes to preform a simple task. The game is describes as:

ReactionTime is true test of your reflexes. The object of the game is to press the gas pedal as fast as you can once the tri-colored traffic light turns green. Your time is then reported to you in milliseconds and you can flip to the ‘flip-side’ view to save your score. Let the games begin!
What’s new in version 1.3?
Although 1.3 is a smaller update compared to others, it includes many changes. The first change involves the traffic light. Previously, the light went from yellow to red, and then to green. Now the traffic light goes in order from red, to yellow, and then to green. Also, the gas pedal design has been refined so that there is no white background. The ‘flip-side’ view has also had minor alterations. There are now two input spaces, removing the non-functional ‘Done’ button on the keyboard. Also, this is in preparation for version 2.0, which is to include online score submission and the option to race other online players.
ReactionTime has sold over 90,000 copies, most of them in Germany and Europe.
Drag Strip - Final Round is the latest TM Development game, designed and created by McNair. It is also a visual reflex game but is mainly focused on the American Drag Racing system. Drag Strip comes in two different levels, Beginner and Expert. Beginner uses slower, non-regulation timing, and is intended for recreational use. The Expert level of Drag Strip - Final Round uses regulation NHRA Pro-Tree timing and is intended for professional practice and recreational use as well. Drag Strip is described by TM Development as:

Drag Strip Final Round is the perfect training tool for future drag racers and racing enthusiasts. The objective of the game is to get the lowest reaction time. With a pro-tree drag racing light setup Drag Strip is the perfect app for racing enthusiast and professional racers alike. Challenge your friends and compare your scores to the pros!
