region: Pure Mechanics

High skill ceiling games

Games decided almost entirely by hand-eye precision and input execution.

Just your hands against the game. You've redone a clean run because one input felt wrong - nobody else noticed, and it bugged you all day.

Examples: Osu!, Geometry Dash, Tetris
