Carve neon territory across 100 hand-crafted stages in a fast, focused take on the cut-and-capture arcade classic. Slice the field with a single bold stroke, race back to your wall before the enemies catch you, and claim everything you sealed off. CORE LOOP Draw a line from any edge of your territory. While the line is open you are vulnerable; close it and the side the enemies are not on becomes yours โ€” and when they end up split across both sides, you keep the smaller half. A speed cap on the cutter forces real risk and reward โ€” no cheap full-screen sweeps. Each stage sets its own goal, rising from 60 percent of the board in the early acts to 90 percent at the end. ENEMIES & POWER-UPS Three enemy types reshape the geometry of every stage: the Reflector is the baseline, the Heavy is nearly twice its size at a little over half its speed, and the Dasher is the smallest and the fastest. All three hold a steady pace and bounce off the walls, so a stage is a pattern you can read rather than a reflex test. Pick up Slow Time for room to plan a long cut, or a Shield to survive one mistake โ€” both take effect the moment you touch them. PROGRESSION 100 stages grouped into themed acts ramp the difficulty smoothly from cozy practice grids to multi-enemy gauntlets. Each stage scores you on completion percentage, time, and lives remaining โ€” earn one, two, or three stars and chase a perfect run. Stage select lets you replay any level you have unlocked. DESIGN A neon vector aesthetic, crisp haptics, and a synth soundtrack keep the arcade feel modern without losing the readability that the genre lives on. Built for one-thumb play in portrait on iPhone. NO STRINGS Fully free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription, no account, no tracking. The whole game ships on your device and works offline.
