Bombs are falling. You have one finger. Survive. BlastDot is a fast-paced arcade survival game where your only goal is to stay alive. Drag your player across the screen to dodge bombs as they rain down, explode, and scatter deadly fragments in every direction. The longer you survive, the higher your score — but the harder it gets. SIMPLE CONTROLS, DEEP GAMEPLAY Touch and drag to move. That's it. No complicated buttons or menus — just you, your reflexes, and an ever-growing field of explosions. But don't let the simplicity fool you. Every second is a split-second decision. 9 POWER-UPS TO TURN THE TIDE Collect items that drop onto the battlefield: • Shield — absorb one hit • Fire — touch bombs to destroy them before they explode • Freeze — stop every bomb and fragment in its tracks • Self Bomb — double-tap to fire projectiles in all directions • Clear Bombs — wipe the screen clean • Decelerate — slow all bombs to a crawl But watch out — not every item helps. Some drop double or triple bombs onto the field, and others make every bomb on screen explode at once. 11 LEVELS OF ESCALATING CHAOS The game gets harder the longer you survive. Bombs fall faster, fuses burn shorter, and new power-ups and penalties unlock as you progress. By the time you reach the final levels, the screen is pure chaos — and every second alive is an achievement. COMPETE ON THE LEADERBOARD Track your best scores and highest levels. Switch between player profiles and compete with friends to see who can survive the longest. FEATURES • One-touch drag controls — easy to learn, hard to master • 9 unique items with strategic risk and reward • 11 difficulty levels with dynamic progression • Multiple bomb types including dark bombs with extra fragments • Haptic feedback for every explosion • Local multiplayer leaderboard • Minimalist glowing visual style How long can you last?
