Dot Shooter
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dot Shooter is a twin-stick bullet hell drawn like a blueprint. Move with your left thumb, aim and fire with your right, and slip through enemy fire all the way to wave 20. Every level-up deals you a choice of cards. Split your shots, add crits, slow the swarm or harden the hull, then grow the right cards into one of 13 evolutions. Four sectors Drift, Belt, Reactor and Nebula each have their own enemies, their own Warden and their own trouble: asteroids that block your shots, a beam that sweeps the arena, and fog that hides what hunts you. Keep what you earn Enemies drop Cores. After a boss, extract to bank them all, or push on for more and risk the run. Spend Cores in the hangar on upgrades that last and on 12 of the 30 skins, trails and effects. Earn the other 18 through achievements. Eight ships and one secret Each ship changes the rules. Fork's shots bounce off the walls, Mirror fires both ways, Glass hits twice as hard on a thin hull. Unlock them by playing, then find the ninth. More ways to play - Time Challenge: three minutes, score only - Daily: one seeded run a day, with the same seed, sector and modifiers for everyone - Weekly: a harder seeded run that changes each week - Boss Rush: a sector's three bosses, back to back - Endless: past the Warden, the waves loop harder - Danger: seven levels of harder rules that pay more Cores - Three missions a day that pay Cores - The Log: 100 achievements and a page for every enemy, boss and card you meet Fair ads Your first run has no ads. After that, an ad plays only when you tap for one: a revive, double Cores at the end of a run, or a card reroll. No account needed. ----- Privacy policy: https://dangnguyen.app/dot-shooter/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

2084. The automated arsenal we built to protect ourselves now rains down on our last six cities. You are the final operator of the defense grid, watching through surveillance camera CAM 07. Touch the sky. Intercept everything. Hold the line. PURE ARCADE REFLEXES โข Tap anywhere: an interceptor detonates there. Multi-touch supported. โข Chain explosions into x2, x3, x4 combos. Fireballs merge into bigger ones. โข Silos reload missile by missile, destroyed turrets repair themselves. A battered grid always has a fighting chance. A FULL ARMORY โข Two turret slots, six weapons: rocket launcher, plasma lance, cluster mortar, AA gun, Tesla arc, and the gravity well that tears BLACK HOLES into the sky. โข Buy new sectors and climates: defend a forward base, fight in the snow or in a thunderstorm whose lightning strikes both sides. โข Face two threats: the machine armada, or an alien siege of white-hot meteors and green saucers. FIVE COLOSSAL BOSSES Every five waves, a capital ship rises: five archetypes with their own hulls, shields and attacks, in machine and alien versions. TWO HIDDEN STORIES Rare silent probes cross the upper sky. Shoot them down to decrypt lost files: two complete stories written before the fall, including a language you can actually decode yourself. And once every file has been read, something else may cross that sky. GAME CENTER Two all-time global leaderboards (best wave, best score) and 26 achievements, including hidden ones. HANDCRAFTED Pixel art, CRT effect, a 5x7 font and sound effects generated entirely from code. Original soundtrack. Free, playable offline, a single optional ad if you want a second chance. English and French.
