Description

Beat the Machine is a reaction game. The computer will show a double hexadecimal number and the player must quickly type the same number using the hexadecimal keypad. After each correct guess the time available to type in the correct code is lowered making the game progressively harder. The game is over if the player makes a mistake or takes too long.
