Rhythm is the foundation of speedstars. Players must synchronize inputs to maintain speed and avoid stumbling. Too fast or too slow, and performance suffers.

On Among Us ARFID may avoid foods because of strong aversions to taste, texture, smell, or fear of choking, vomiting or other negative experiences.

In Build Now GG, I played a full match with my sound muted and realised how much I rely on audio cues. It felt like a whole new challenge mode.

In Retro Bowl, It’s great to see ARFID Awareness UK raising important awareness on BBC Radio Five Live about the serious impacts of restrictive eating disorders.

Can we discuss how satisfying those close escapes are? Every time I narrowly avoid a police car in Escape Road, my heart skips a beat!
