# Customizing Your Settings

## Game Settings Overview

Each game in Motion Trainer can be customized from the Settings Page. You can adjust how sensitive the system is to motion, how long trials last, and what feedback is shown to the participant.

### 🎈 Balloon Game Settings

* **Movement Tolerance Start (mm):** Initial max allowed movement. Balloon begins inflating from this threshold.

* **Fixation Graphic:** Image shown during the trial.

### 📺 Video Game Settings
