Tightrope

An acrobat walks the rope by himself and now and then starts to fall. Push the other way to win his balance back, but too much and he teeters the opposite way. Falls and instability grow with each level, and levels alternate walking and riding a unicycle. The original doubled as a typing tutor, which here becomes a Cue Game reflex trainer since the controller has no keyboard.

Controls: Left and right keep the balance; the Cue Game answers signs with the stick or a button.
