-Progressively narrow and complex route as game level advances
-Elements include levels, timing challenges, and restart options for tracking progress
-High contrast color display prevents monotony during repetitive tasks


Handle design tailored to meet stroke patients’ needs:

-Two different gripping positions for varying hand conditions
-The bottom of the handle provides support, eliminating the need to lift the hand when using it
