When creepy monsters start arriving through interdimensional portals you are left with one option - roll up your sleeves and get your fists ready. Break skeleton bones, punch out zombie brains and enjoy a fresh shower of teeth, debris and fire as you detonate bombs or go crazy with your iron fists. Only you can save the world by collecting all the Anti-Portal Crystals and destroy the portals once and for all. MONSTERS EVERYWHERE, INFINITE. Some monsters are easy to kill, some are way harder and some even try to avoid your punches! Stay on your fingers, be ready and see how long you can survive! COLLECT EXOTIC POWER-UPS AND WEAPONS. When things heat up, use the Slowmo-snail to cool things down, smash monsters with your iron fists, launch deadly drones or just explode everything for a short moment of peace and quiet. WATCH OUT FOR SNEAKY TRAPS. Don't just tap on everything that comes at you. You might get poisoned, electroshocked, dizzy or activate the horrible Superspeed snail. GREAT ARTWORK, MUSIC AND ATMOSPHERE. Intense visual effects, creative and cartoonish artwork and a fantastic soundtrack specificly composed for Tap or Cry. This game has a creepy, fun and arcadish atmosphere. PLAY ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME. No WiFi connection? Don't worry - Tap or Cry also works without WiFi. CREATED BY ONE GUY. That's me, Kenni.

Hello there, Terrarians! I am your mysterious radio host, Midnight, and I have a story to share with you. It is the tale of a brave space hero, who pilots the magnificent Vapor Falcon in a battle against the body snatching aliens from outer space. As you may know, the aliens have set their sights on Terra, our beloved home planet. They want to take over our bodies and use us as their own personal puppets. But our hero, with the help of the Vapor Falcon, is determined to stop them at all costs. Our hero will face many challenges and obstacles. They must navigate through treacherous asteroid fields, dodge laser blasts from enemy ships, and outsmart the cunning alien invaders. But with their quick reflexes and sharp shooting skills, our hero is more than capable of taking on whatever comes their way. In the end, it all comes down to a final showdown between the Vapor Falcon and the Mother Ship of the alien invaders. Will our hero be able to save Terra and protect the human race from being enslaved? Tune in to find out! Until then, stay safe out there and keep your eyes peeled for any signs of the menacing aliens. This is Midnight signing off
