| Performance Tier | Mastery Rank Title | Score Threshold | Level Reached | Warning Window | Neuromotor Evasion Profile |
|---|
| Tier 1: Apex Grid Evader | Apex Grid Evader | 17,000+ pts | Level 12 – 15 | 0.45 – 0.60s window | Parallel pre-attentive feature extraction; flawless predictive flick evasion within 0.45s critical blast windows (Treisman 1980; Posner 1980) |
| Tier 2: Master Spatial Scanner | Master Spatial Scanner | 13,000 – 16,999 pts | Level 9 – 11 | 0.65 – 0.80s window | Rapid covert visual orientation and fluid ballistic trajectory execution onto safe grid sectors without hesitation (Woodworth 1899) |
| Tier 3: Proficient Hazard Dodger | Proficient Hazard Dodger | 9,500 – 12,999 pts | Level 6 – 8 | 0.85 – 1.05s window | Competitive gaming standard; consistent visual detection of 3–5 hazard cells with minimal motor overshoot |
| Tier 4: Intermediate Sector Evader | Intermediate Sector Evader | 6,000 – 9,499 pts | Level 3 – 5 | 1.10 – 1.25s window | Recreational average; occasional combo drops under multiple concurrent hazard activations due to serial scanning delay |
| Tier 5: Novice Blast Survivor | Novice Blast Survivor | < 6,000 pts | Level 1 – 2 | > 1.25s window | Over-reliance on foveal fixation causing delayed reaction to peripheral hazards; frequent trapped corners under rapid pacing |
Standards derived from visual attention literature (Treisman & Gelade 1980, Posner 1980), motor control amplitude laws (Fitts 1954, Woodworth 1899), and choice reaction chronometry (Woods et al. 2015).
