Escapa and the Air Force

The game claims that Air Force pilots (Australian, British, Russian or American, depending on the source) are forced to reach two minutes, to train their hand-eye coordination.

However, this rumor is apparently false, as the blue blocks increase their speed regularly, maxing out (after about half a minute) at a speed too fast for most human reflexes. 

Unofficial Escapa competitions—usually initiated by a challenge to match a high score—are occasionally held, mainly on gaming or technology forums, and very few honest people survive for even a minute. 

However, the exact speed of the game, and thus its relative ease, does depend on the capabilities of the computer running it.
