About

Tapanic

Features
Read full description

A haywire factory is pushing blocks up out of five vents, and Bobo is standing right above them. Tap to pop the blocks before any stack reaches him. Pop again quickly and the combo climbs, up to five. Bombs clear everything around them and set off other bombs. Spiky blocks ignore your taps entirely. Only a blast gets rid of those. One run, no checkpoints. Just how far you get before the factory wins. - One thumb, portrait, anywhere - Works with no connection at all - Rounds last a minute or two - Every block, sound and effect is generated by the game itself Remove Ads + Pro takes the ads away for good and gives you one rescue per run with no ad to watch.
