About

BooBuster

Features
Read full description

Bobu is a ghost. Walls are a suggestion. BooBuster is a neon arcade runner with one twist: the more orbs you grab, the more transparent you become — and a transparent ghost runs straight through walls. Let the meter drain and you're solid, and solid ghosts go splat. PHASE. JUMP. SURVIVE. Three lanes, one thumb. Swipe to switch lanes, tap to jump. Orbs charge your phase meter; walls test it. Phase through a wall while you're nearly solid for a PRECISION bonus. Jump an asteroid clean for an AIR DODGE. Chain phases and orbs to build FLOW — every link pushes the speed and the multiplier higher, until one mistake resets everything. THE RIFT FIGHTS BACK - Rift mines hover at head height. You can't jump them. Swipe. - Asteroids scream in from the edge of the screen and home in on your lane. Time the jump, or wear the tumble. - Walls close ranks as your level climbs. The rift never runs out. FIVE WAYS TO CHEAT - INVINCIBLE — nothing touches you; smash walls and rocks for bonus. - RECON DRONE — the camera lifts so every lane and hazard reads at once. - DOUBLE UP — orbs pay double while it runs. - RIFT FLIP — dive under the carpet: 2× orbs, and hazards can't reach. - HYPERDRIVE — 5× speed. Everything in your way shatters. 18 SPECTERS Eight classic skins to earn with orbs, plus ten Mastery specters — Drifter to Omega Sovereign — that can only be unlocked by ranking up. Cracked-obsidian shells with lava seams, chrome, digital camo, tiger stripe: every specter is a full recolour of the ghost, flames and all, and the one you wear is the one you run. RIFT MASTERY Every run earns Mastery XP. Ten ranks, each with its own specter, its own orb cache and a place on the leaderboard. DAILY RIFTS Three fresh missions every day. Clear them for orbs; keep the streak for more. SYSTEMS Spend orbs on upgrades that change how you play: longer power-ups, a wider orb magnet, a slower phase drain, a head start on transparency. GAME CENTER Worldwide high-score leaderboards and achievements. BUILT TO FEEL GOOD Full haptics on every phase, hit and pickup. A six-track synthwave soundtrack that shuffles through the whole album before repeating. Plays offline, one-handed, in portrait. Runs at 120 Hz on ProMotion. FAIR PLAY BooBuster is free. Watch a rewarded ad for orbs or a second chance — your choice, never forced mid-run. An occasional interstitial between runs can be removed for good with CLEAR SIGNAL, and the VOID PASS doubles every run's orbs, unlocks the Banshee specter and removes ads, in one purchase, forever. No energy, no timers, no subscriptions. Phase. Jump. Survive.
