Blimps is a top-down, multi-vehicular sandbox RPG and roguelite "escape room" built for solo captains and local couch co-op duos. The surface world is running out of resources. Your ultimate objective is simple but monumental: find a way to escape it. To survive, you must master a steep learning curve, piece together a massive mechanical puzzle, and optimize your strategy across multiple play sessions. Every time you leave your Hangar, you lose power, pollution clouds spread, and rival pirate blimps multiply across the sky. Time is ticking. Can you solve the world of Blimps before you are completely overwhelmed? ▶ THE THREE PHASES OF THE SKY Your journey to escape is broken into a dynamic, shifting campaign where every second matters (10 real-world seconds equals 15 minutes of game time): - The Opening Game: The Billionaire Space Race (Days 1–3): Race against ruthless corporate competitors—Space Y, Nile X, and Sir Space—to reach the Moon. Recruit 10 VIP crew members and secure 10 Golden Cargo crates to launch a rocket to the Moon (and maybe even a hidden silo to Mars) to locate the mythical Moon Crystal. Secure first place within 3 game days to claim a $1,000,000 reward! - The Middle Game: The Sandbox Expansion: With the timed space race settled, the world expands into a building and survival playground. Establish solar and fusion towns, fight to become the King of the Seven Kingdoms, and take on arcade mini-games to boost your ultimate score. - The End Game: The Earth Drill Escape: Use the Moon Crystal to power your Earth Drill beneath your Hangar. Educate and train your crew, board your drill, and plunge to the center of the Earth paradise before the surface collapses. ▶ ARCADE MINI-GAMES & MULTI-VEHICLE MASTERY Break away from the cockpit to complete tasks that grant game-changing score bonuses, gold, and ship upgrades: - Tactical Dogfights: Engage rivals in fast-paced twin-stick shooting or close-quarters, elemental "Rock-Paper-Scissors" combat (Water douses Fire, Fire melts Ice, Ice freezes Water). - 4-Floor Dungeon Crawler: Descend in a mini earth drill to extinguish flames with your water gun to harvest fire ammo, and smash rocks with your shovel plow to extract raw gold. Battle Shiska Bob, a giant flame boss, on the bottom floor! Smelt the gold into bars after each run, then use them to upgrade your Blimp's "Air class," boosting its size and specs. - Side-Scrolling Gauntlet: Jump and shoot through a 2D platformer highway. Pop hot-air balloons to steal gold bars, shoot down cyberplane minions, and battle The Dogcatcher—a pirate blimp captained by an annoying barking dog. - 2D Top-Down Cyberpunk Motorcycle Race: Switch gears entirely and drop onto a neon-drenched track. Race solo or with a partner through a dark cyberpunk setting to gather 8 glowing crystals. Deposit them into 8 active turret towers to win 8 precious gemstones, then secure them at the Gemstone Greenhouse to claim your race winnings! - Multi-Vehicular Mastery: Take control of submarines, earth-drilling machines, hot-air balloons, motorcycles, and even a funicular! ▶ NATIVE iOS & APPLE HARDWARE FEATURES - Premium Indie Experience: 100% Ad-Free with no microtransactions or paywalls. - Full WiFi & Bluetooth Controller Support: Connect your Xbox or PlayStation controller to turn your mobile device into a portable console. - Universal Play: Built to scale perfectly across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Mac desktops. - Replayable Roguelite Challenge: Use your in-game Captain's Log to track complex missions and the in-game HELP computer for reference advice. Finish the entire gauntlet in under 60 minutes without using console cheat codes to secure a high-score bonus! Try before you buy!

About

Swipe Slayer

Read full description

Swipe Slayer is a 2D single-player card game with a rogue-like style that can be played using just clicks and swipes - making the experience quick and easy to learn. In Swipe Slayer, the red panda Lex is challenged by the greatest warriors of Animalia. To become the Feral Champion, he needs to be aggressive, fast and especially smart. By collecting key gadgets as they advance through each level, Lex will get closer to defeating the greatest animals of the Feral Tournament. Lex can equip cards that provide extra powers during each chapter and victory is achieved by navigating through all the levels, but be careful: a defeat will send Lex back to the very first level, stripping him of all their accumulated items and progress. The game is in constant evolution with new updates very soon. Developed by Alexandre César, Eduardo Andrade, Felipe Gameleira and Gabriel Goulart in Apple Developer Academy Brazil.
