## What is Homebound?

Homebound is a one-tap arcade game about launching lost little creatures back to their home planet. They cheer when they land. They hold on tight when the planet spins. They look a bit nervous when an asteroid passes. Tap to fire, time it right, and watch where they land.

The entire game is played with a single finger. No drag, no aim, no swipe; just the planet spinning in front of you and the choice of when to tap. Wherever a creature lands, it stays there. The safe space on the planet shrinks with every shot, and the last few spots are always the hardest.

Early levels are calm and forgiving. Later ones bring orbiting moons, crossing asteroids, expanding pulse rings, and planets that reverse direction mid-spin. Nothing is hard to understand at a glance, but the timing gets tight.

What's inside:
- 250 handcrafted levels. New mechanics are introduced one at a time, with room to settle in before the next layer arrives.
- A Quick Round mode every day. Five short levels, the same for every player on that day, with a daily streak.
- Fully offline. No login, no wait screens, no energy meters.
- Game Center leaderboards and achievements.
- New Game Plus tiers with faster planet spins once the campaign is done.
- Haptic feedback on the moments that benefit from it, toggleable in settings.
- One-time in-app purchase to remove ads.

Good for:
- Commutes, waiting rooms, queues. The fail loop is instant, so nothing is wasted.
- Players who like the clarity of old arcade cabinets and one-button games.
- Short sessions. You can pick it up for a minute and put it down without losing your place.

Thanks for playing.
