Shapes are falling from the sky. Drag each one into the matching goal on the ring around your ship before the 30-second clock runs out, and keep your finger off the lasers. A one-finger arcade sorting game in space: 250+ worlds, 1,000+ levels, nine kinds of hazard, three stars per level and a Star Store to spend your winnings in. HOW IT PLAYS • Stars, hearts, diamonds, octagons and more fall from the top of the screen in eight colours. • Drag each shape to the goal that matches it. Right goal: a point. Wrong goal: you lose a life. • Shapes that slip past the bottom cost nothing, so pick your battles. • Reach the target score before the timer ends to clear the level. Clear it without taking damage and with a high score for all three stars. • The goal ring rotates, and later levels add more goals and spin them faster. THE HAZARDS Each world introduces one, then later worlds stack them two, three and four at a time. • Meteors: tap them the number of times shown before they hit you. • Spinning lasers: drag a shape through one and it breaks. • Blurred shapes: grab and shake a fast-spinning shape to slow it down and see what it is. • Frozen goals: tap them free. • Changing shapes: sort them at the exact moment they match. • Drifting shapes that veer off course on the way down. • Goals that speed up and reverse without warning. • Goals that swap places. • Burning shapes that explode if you are too slow. DAILY LEVEL Beat World 1 Level 1 and a DAILY asteroid appears on the map. Tap it for today's level: a new mix of hazards every day, the same for every player. Mondays are easiest and the challenge builds to Sunday. A daily win pays double stars, and the asteroid counts your streak of days in a row. A reminder at 8:30 each morning tells you the next one is ready; switch it on or off in Settings. STAR STORE Winning levels earns stars; harder levels and more stars pay more. Spend them on Slow Time, Boost 2x and new ships: Alpha and Beta class in blue, green, red and black, plus the Golden ship. MADE FOR SHORT SESSIONS Every level is 30 seconds. Portrait, one hand, no account needed, on phones and tablets. Vibration as you grab, sort and take hits. Plays in 13 languages; pick yours in Settings. Battle Shape is free to play with ads. Remove Ads, a one-time purchase in Settings, turns off the ads between levels. The optional videos that refill your tries or earn Star Store items stay available. Battle Shape is made by a small independent studio. If you enjoy it, a review helps more than you would think.
