Do you like tapping your phone? Do you like things? Well, this game is for you! Tap the Thing you're shown. Then a new Thing joins the crowd: tap that one, and not the old one. Then a newer one. Tap the wrong Thing and it's game over. Faster tapping means more points. Now get to tapping! WHAT'S IN HERE • Over 200 low-poly 3D Things, tumbling across the screen. • A daily challenge: the same Things for everyone, every day. Your best score of the day counts, and you can share it. • Up to five new Things per level, if one at a time isn't hard enough. • Game Center leaderboards and achievements. They're optional; the game works fine without them. • A chalkboard look, sound effects made as you play, and haptics to match. • Reduce Motion, if you'd rather the Things didn't tumble. ----------- You still here? There's not much more to the game than that. Please keep in mind that this game is just something I made in my free time and is not meant to be taken too seriously. It has no ads, no accounts and no tracking, and it collects nothing. You get ten free games a day. If that's not enough, a small one-time purchase unlocks unlimited plays, and it works with Family Sharing. If you bought the old unlock, or played before version 2.0, you already have unlimited plays. So what are you waiting for? Thanks for reading! And thanks for playing!
