Don't blink.

Your camera watches your eyes. A timer counts up. The moment you blink, it's over.

Sounds easy. Most people lose in under thirty seconds. The first fifteen are silent, and then the game starts working on you: things drift past, lights pulse, the screen lies to you with a fake call, a fake countdown, a fake "YOU BLINKED". Later, something crawls across the lens.

Your camera stays yours. Every frame is processed on your phone and thrown away immediately. Nothing is uploaded. There is no account and no email. The only video that is ever saved is the clip you choose to keep.

Health and comfort

Blinko asks you to hold your eyes open, which dries them out. Stop when your eyes feel uncomfortable, and do not play if you have an eye condition that makes this a bad idea.

Some distractions flash. If flashing lights are a problem for you, turn on Reduce flashing in Settings before playing. It removes every flashing distraction from the game rather than just dimming them.
