Lure the swarm. Break the gate. Gate Breaker is a one-finger arcade game. Drag to stay ahead of the swarm, lead it to a gate, and fly through the middle. The blast takes out the enemies around it, and gates flown in quick succession chain a combo for bonus points. Touch either end of a gate and the run is over. MASTERY Goals run from a two-enemy blast to surviving five minutes, and each one earns you hexagons. Records keep your best score, biggest blast, most gates, best combo, best bomb clear, and longest run. A short lesson teaches the move, and Practice is always in Settings. HARDER AS YOU GO The higher your score, the hotter the arena and the meaner the enemies. Splitters, speedsters, orbiters, and armored tanks that take two blasts join one at a time. Gates move, rotate, and link up, and super gates arrive with a countdown. POWER-UPS Blasted enemies can drop five power-ups: shields, slow fields, bombs that clear the whole screen, gate rush, and ghost mode. DAILY CHALLENGE A new run each day, the same for every player, with bonus hexagons for your first finish. Play on consecutive days to build a streak. STYLE Spend hexagons on trails, blasts, arenas, and characters, from a rocket to a penguin. Or unlock everything with Full Palette. GAME CENTER Leaderboards, including a daily one, and achievements.
