Half game, half chat. Stack wishing stones into a swaying tower, one tap per stone ā then talk with other players in rooms for your game and language, or one to one. Each time you open Doltap, you choose a half. THE GAME On the path to a mountain temple, each person lays one stone and makes a wish: a doltap, a wishing-stone tower. A stone slides across the top; one tap drops it. Place it off-center and the whole tower physically leans and sways ā that sway IS the near-miss. Leaning isn't losing: a gutsy stone on the opposite side rights the tower again. Every stone sounds as it lands, and a perfect one rings clear. When it falls, it falls gently. Ā· One hand, no words. No ads. The game plays offline Ā· One shared weekly board with players everywhere ā each week, everyone stacks the same stone sequence Ā· No continue, no revive ā a fall ends the run Ā· Name your wish in a word; your best tower carries it, and your wish journal keeps your last three towers Ā· Share a keepsake card of the tower you actually built THE PLAYER CHAT (ADULTS ONLY) The chat is shared with Orbion, another Erek Studio game: one account for both, made with Sign in with Apple. It is for adults only ā 18+, and 19+ in Korea. Ā· Rooms for each game and language, and one-to-one messages; a first message from someone new arrives as a request Ā· You choose who to talk to: there is no matching Ā· Report or block anyone right from their message or profile; what you report is hidden for you at once Ā· Messages are checked for safety by Anthropic's AI; you agree to this on the rules screen before you join Ā· Text only ā a profile photo comes with Chat+ and is checked by AI before anyone sees it Ā· In Korea, the chat is Doltap's Korean room, and one-to-one messages go only between people who both wrote there Ā· Delete your chat account in the app at any time. The game itself needs no account 20 RUNS FOR EVERY PLAYER Every player starts with 20 runs ā a run counts once it reaches three stones. Players from before 1.3.1, who had unlimited runs until now, get their 20 as well. After that, Chat+ keeps you stacking. CHAT+ Chat+ is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. In Doltap it gives you: Ā· Unlimited runs Ā· Rankings ā see the shared board and where you stand this week Ā· Seasons ā river, sea, winter and dawn ā in play, on your card, and as a phone wallpaper Ā· Temple sounds ā a wooden fish, a wind chime, and a temple bell for a new best Ā· The wish tag ā your wish, hung on the tower Ā· Your whole wish journal Ā· In the chat: unlimited messages, looks and a profile photo Ā· Contact sharing: only in an accepted one-to-one chat, once the other person has written 3 times; they can turn it off. Never in rooms or profiles Ā· Outside Korea: create your own rooms, public or invite-only, and find players by country and language Chat+ works in every Erek Studio game where you sign into the chat. You can buy it in Doltap without a chat account: it then unlocks Doltap's perks on this device, and signing into the chat later moves it to your account. The one-time unlock is no longer sold. If you bought it, you keep everything it gave you, forever ā Restore purchases brings it back on a new device. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple ID settings. The price is shown in the app before you buy.
