About

Serene Orbs

Read full description

Serene Orbs is a unique puzzle game where you merge identical bubbles to form larger ones. Each fusion helps you progress through a dreamlike and musical environment. As this is my first game, I would appreciate feedback on the presence and frequency of ads, as well as all other aspects of the application, to ensure they don't disrupt the ambiance. I'm exploring the best monetization model to make the game free and ad-free, relying solely on in-app purchases, and allowing future collaborations with artists for new creations.

About

Hoppernaut

Features
Read full description

Hoppernaut is a pure one-tap arcade challenge. Your ship circles a planet. TAP to let go and fly straight into the dark, then the next planet's gravity grabs you and you start orbiting again. Time each release, chain hop after hop, and climb as high as you can. But the void is rising beneath you. Hesitate and it swallows you whole, so keep moving and stay ahead. Snag stars along the way, push your run further than the last, and chase a spot on the GLOBAL LEADERBOARD against players everywhere. Built to be simple and honest: - One tap, infinite depth. Easy to learn, hard to master. - Clean minimalist visuals and satisfying motion. - Global leaderboard for real bragging rights. - Completely FREE. NO ads. NO in-app purchases. Ever. No timers, no energy, no paywalls. Just you, gravity, and one more hop. How high can you climb?
