Dead Circuit is a portrait-mode boss-rush arcade game. Drop bombs, dodge lasers, survive. No grind, no timers, no IAP paywalls on core gameplay — just ten handcrafted bosses across two circuits, designed to be learned and conquered. Gameplay • Bomb-drop combat — Place bombs on a 2D grid. Time your detonations to catch bosses in the blast radius while dodging their attacks. • Bullet-time reflexes — Tap to slow the world down for a precision dodge. Short cooldown, high skill ceiling. • Ten handcrafted bosses — Each boss has multiple phases, unique attack patterns, and a distinct weakness. Learn, adapt, survive. • Two circuits — Bio Lab (organic horrors) and Mech Lab (industrial killers). Clear one to unlock the next. • Boss rush mode — Chain every boss in a circuit back-to-back. One death ends the run. Fastest clear wins. • Daily Challenge — A new boss + modifier combo every day. Climb the daily leaderboard. • Game Center leaderboards — Compete on four boards: Highest Score, Longest Survival, Fastest All-Bosses Defeat, and a rolling 7-day Top Score. • Three explosives — Standard bombs from the start. Unlock cluster bombs after clearing Bio Lab, and EMP charges after clearing Mech Lab. • Haptic feedback — Every hit, dodge, and detonation rumbles. Why Dead Circuit? Most mobile arcade games either bury the core loop under ads and energy timers, or turn every victory into a nag for gems. Dead Circuit is a one-time purchase arcade experience: learn the patterns, drop the bombs, beat the bosses. No subscriptions, no random loot, no stamina. The only "upgrade" is your own reflexes. Privacy Dead Circuit stores all progress locally using SwiftData. Game Center scores are submitted to Apple's Game Center service only when you post a run. The optional Feedback button uploads anonymous crash diagnostics to help us fix bugs. No analytics, no ads, no tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DeadCircuit at none against Jump King's 3. DeadCircuit also leads on ads (none vs shown). Jump King's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
