How long can YOU hold out? Featuring classic, overhead 2D, arcade-action, requiring seriously extreme finger-flicking reflexes! This is NOT a game for people who content themselves with playing Solitaire! Thou hast been warned! Completely fair gameplay. No unfair advantage given to the enemy, in higher difficulties.

About

Squeeze Through

Features
Read full description

Squeeze Through is a one-thumb reflex game. A ball sits near the bottom of the screen. Walls scroll down, each with a gap in it. Drag left and right to line the ball up. Miss by a little and the ball squeezes through, flattening as it goes. Miss by a lot and the run is over. Your fuel is also your health. It drains as you play, and an empty tank ends the run — so you cannot simply crawl along playing it safe. Symbols sit dead centre in the gaps, which means threading a gap cleanly collects them for free: • Fuel — refills the tank • Shrink — the ball gets smaller, so tight gaps stop biting • Slow — the walls scroll slower and you buy time • Gun — tap the screen to fire in every direction • Jump — the ball hops over whatever is in its way Bombs drift between the walls and sit inside some gaps. Touch one and you lose fuel and your streak. Shoot it instead and you score. The further you get, the less forgiving it beed up and close in on each other, some walls offer two gaps of different widths, and later ones arrive at an angle so the gap keeps moving while you pass through it. Clean passes build a combo multiplier. Every run is short, and the next one always looks winnable. Plays offline. Supported by ads.
