One tap. One gap. How far can you go? Gapshot is a one-tap arcade game about timing. You are a comet threading the rings of a dying galaxy, lighting up sectors as you pass. Easy to learn. Brutal to master. STORY MODE Ten worlds, from Home Orbit to the Galactic Core. Every stage sets a target score and rates your run out of three stars, and the galaxy map remembers how far you have flown. ENDLESS No finish line. Three lives, rising speed, and your own best score to beat. COMBOS Every clean pass raises your multiplier. The rings burn hotter as the chain grows, from Ignition at 4 to Supernova at 16. Break one and you will feel it. TEN COSMIC SECTORS Home Orbit, Neon Nebula, Ember Star, The Blue Drift, The Goldfields, The Void, Aurora Belt, Stardust Reach, Comet's Tail and the Galactic Core. Each one has its own landmarks, colour and sound. ALSO IN THE BOX • Golden rings for a big bonus, silver rings for a steady one • Badges for the runs worth remembering • Practice mode to drill the part that keeps killing you • Global leaderboard, daily and all time • Sign in to carry your progress across devices, or stay a guest • Haptics on every clean pass • Plays offline HOW TO PLAY Tap to hop. Gravity does the rest. Thread the gap in every ring as it reaches you and keep the chain alive. The deeper you go, the faster it gets. Free to play. Remove ads forever with a single purchase.
