One square. Four directions. A sky full of meteors. Meteor Slide is a fast, endlessly replayable survival game. Swipe across the arena to dodge incoming meteors, collect pickups, and keep your run alive as the pace climbs. Every clean escape feels good. Every close call sets up the next one. MAKE EVERY MOVE COUNT Build combos, catch coins, reflect meteors, and turn smart use of powers into bigger scores. The longer you last, the more demanding the storm becomes. CHANGE THE RULES Dash through danger, freeze incoming threats, put up a Block, or unleash Pulse and Bolt. Powers can react to each other and to major attacks in surprising, useful ways. Practice them in the built-in guides before taking them into a real run. SURVIVE THE BIG ATTACKS Read the warnings and adapt to laser strikes, pursuit missiles, Gatling fire, barrages, target locks, and Rift Sweep. Each attack asks you to move differently. PLAY YOUR WAY Spend coins on new player looks and boosts, then chase a new high score. The crisp pixel-art world, quick restarts, and responsive swipe controls make every run another chance to improve. No ads or in-app purchases. The core game plays offline.
