(Warning, do not play this game if fast moving/high contrast shapes hurt your eyes)

Hello, friends, today, as you can tell, I will be reviewing a free Flash game called Accelerator. It is a very fun game, definitely. When I first found it, my thoughts were "Eww, another avoiding game."

However, all those thoughts were thrown aside as I spent several hours playing this very addicting and unique game with a somewhat simple concept. One of the things that stands out most about accelerator is that it's graphics are unique, it employs sharp contrast and bright colors (Some people who have played it said it bothers their eyes. It didn't bother mine, but please be advised.)

The gist of it is simple, you play as an androgynous white ball who apparently bursts into flames when it touches things.

While playing as this blob, you go through a kind of infinite obstacle course, however, you keep getting faster and faster, making it harder and harder. When it comes to obstacles, it's simple, don't touch anything.

But most important to remember is that anything red is an imminent danger to your well-being.

The game has quite simple controls, with the move moving your view around, and manuevering you, while W, A, S, and D do more sharp movements, I find that there is literally no time in the game when using WASD is actually useful.

You have a little cursor that appears at the center of your vision. I found this useful on the three difficulties where it appears because you know that as long as your cursor is pointing at a open path and not a wall or obstacle, you'll survive.

Another thing you can do is rotate your vision by pressing/holding e or q. Once you're going very fast, just holding spin could probably give you motion sickness. Although, once again, I did not experience these symptoms.

There are four different difficulties:

Easy-You're just moving straight with basic obstacles.

Medium-Same as easy but with split paths thrown in the mix.

Hard-Same as medium and easy but also has curves thrown in the mix.

Harder-More curves, also, you no longer have a cursor to tell you where you're going.

Anyways, over all, Accelerator is a fun and interesting game I would recommend you check out if you're not epileptic or something. The game really tests your reflexes and requires concentration

Personally, I found myself putting on some Rammstein music, kicking, and spending a good five-six hours just playing this. It's highly addictive and a blast if you're looking for something entertaining to do.

I would rate this game a 9.8/10.
