## What is Kinetic?

Protect your core. Rotate your shield. Survive the swarm.

Kinetic is a one-handed reflex game built around a single, simple motion: rotate your shield to block incoming stones before they reach your core. The longer you survive, the faster and denser the swarm gets — how far can you push it?

HOW TO PLAY
• Your core sits at the center of the screen, and enemies close in from every side.
• Rotate your shield with one thumb and block at the right angle, right on time.
• Every stone you miss chips away at your core's health — survive as long as you can.
• Collect rare stars as you play — your permanent currency for leveling up your cards.

BUILD YOUR LOADOUT
• Collect and level up Cores, Shields, and Skills — five levels each, real stat bonuses every time.
• Equip active Skills in dedicated slots that unlock as your account levels up.
• Unlock new Atmospheres as you progress, each with its own visual style and scoring bonus.

CHESTS & DAILY STREAK
• Earn Chests from gameplay and open them for stars, cards, or rare rewards.
• Log in three days in a row for a bonus Legendary Chest.

COMPETE
• Every run counts toward your all-time high score.
• Climb the global leaderboard and see how you stack up against other players.

Kinetic is quick to learn, hard to put down, and built for the moments in between — one hand, one thumb, one shield.
