How to play 3SEC FEED
3SEC FEED is a feed of tiny games. It looks like a shorts app, but every short is a game you play instead of a video you watch. You get about three seconds per short.
1. Read the big title
Each short opens with a big title and one short line under it, like Feed penguin! and Flick to the open beak. That is the whole instruction. There are no menus or tutorials in the way: the title tells you the one move this short wants, whether that is a tap, a swipe, a hold, a drag or rubbing the screen.
2. Beat the clock
A thin bar at the bottom shows the time left. Finish the task before it runs out and the short is cleared. Miss it and you lose a heart. Either way the feed moves on to the next short by itself, so there is no waiting.
If you meet a short for the first time, or keep missing the same one, the game quietly gives you a little extra time. You will not see a message about it; it simply gets fairer.
3. Hearts and speed
You start with three or four hearts. Every few shorts the feed speeds up, and a card tells you the new speed. Clear shorts in a row and you reach viral time, where likes and followers pour in. Lose your last heart and the run ends with a result card.
4. Three ways to play
Today's feed
Twenty shorts, the same twenty for everyone on the same day. Your first try is your score for the day, so you can compare with friends and share a result card.
Channel journey
Four seasons, forty episodes and four hundred stages on a map. Each stage is a short run with up to three stars. Every tenth stage is a LIVE boss, a longer short that chains several moves. Later stages add twists: faster, smaller, shaky or dark shorts.
Free feed
Keep swiping until your hearts run out and chase your best score. This is where the speed climbs highest.
5. Practice and the collection book
Missed a short? After a stage you can practice just the shorts you missed, at a slower speed, and then go straight on to the next stage. Every short you have met goes into the collection book with its best speed.
Tips
- Keep your thumb near the middle of the screen: most shorts start there.
- Read the title first, then move. Three seconds is longer than it sounds.
- Boosters (a shield, an extra heart, slow motion) can be used before a stage.
