About

Flickbound

Read full description

Pull back. Flick. Pot. Flickbound is a neon arcade game about one perfect shot. Drag back from your puck and let go — it fires the other way. Knock every blue puck into the pockets to clear the arena, then drop deeper into the next one. Just don't sink your own puck. One scratch and the run is over. EASY TO PICK UP, HARD TO PUT DOWN Every arena is a new shape to read. Bank shots off the neon rails, line up chains of pucks, and thread shots past obstacles as the arenas get tougher the deeper you go. RISK IT OR BANK IT Points, stars and diamonds you collect only count once you clear the arena. Push on for a bigger haul, or play it safe — lose the run and whatever you were carrying is gone. SHOW OFF YOUR SKILL Land a perfect shot, sink one from across the board, or slip past danger by a hair and the game will let you know. Chain pots together to build your combo and multiply your score. MAKE IT YOURS Earn stars and diamonds to unlock dozens of colours for your puck and your rivals. Level up, chase nine achievements, and watch the arena change its look as you travel deeper. FEATURES • One-finger flick controls, made for portrait play • Endless arenas that grow tougher the deeper you go • Combos, perfect landings, long shots and near misses • Dozens of unlockable puck colours • Nine achievements and detailed stats for every run • Player levels and XP • Smooth 120Hz play on ProMotion displays • No account needed — your progress stays on your device How deep can you go?
