20 games. All free. Zumble is a pocket arcade — one tap from the home screen, no unlocks, nothing hidden behind a wall. TWO KINDS OF GAME Most are a round against the clock: aim and rhythm games where a mistake costs you the shot and your combo, never the round. Some are endless — three lives, no timer, and they keep getting harder for as long as you last. They end when you run out, not when time does. NINETEEN WAYS TO PLAY Dodge, Sharpshooter, Timber Chopper, Wall Jump, Laser Limbo, Orbit Dodge, Jetpack Jam, Quick Tap, Disc Golf, Basketball, Tennis, Counter Punch, Long Drive, Top Shelf, Field Goals, Closest to the Pin, Darts, Pinball, Tacwondo — and the buzz game. Orbit a black hole on the event horizon itself, chop a tree that is trying to fall on you, thread a laser, sink a shot. Games you can pick up in a second and keep chasing for weeks. Every one keeps a personal best and its own leaderboard. FIVE NEW ONES FIELD GOALS — pull back to kick: how far is power, the angle is aim. Read the wind before you let go. CLOSEST TO THE PIN — nine holes, one shot each, over water, lava and floating greens. Fewest total feet wins. DARTS — the board spins. Let go as a big number comes round; a zero pays nothing. PINBALL — a full space table. Chain ramps and orbits back to back and the multiplier climbs. TACWONDO — tacos fly in on three lanes. Punch high, kick mid, sweep low. Hit them up close for double. AND THEN THERE'S THE BUZZ GAME This is the one only Zumble has. Your phone plays a buzz you can feel but not hear — a heartbeat, a galloping horse, Jingle Bells, SOS in Morse code — and you name it from the choices. It repeats until you answer. Harder rounds put lookalikes in front of you. 34 hand-tuned Core Haptics patterns: songs you'll know from their rhythm alone (Happy Birthday, We Will Rock You, Beethoven's 5th, the Imperial March) and everyday sounds rebuilt as vibration (a dripping faucet, a knock at the door, a ticking clock, rain, applause, a sneeze). Not generic rumbles — each one is built by hand. PLEASE NOTE: the buzz game makes no sound at all. A silent phone means it's working. Hold it in your hand to play. A DAILY CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE Three games a day, drawn fresh each morning and identical for every player on earth. Your score is the total. Keep a streak going, and compare the same three games with everyone else playing them. LEADERBOARDS Every game has its own all-time board. See the top five and your own rank before you play — then go beat it. REMOVE ADS One tap, forever. It removes the ads and nothing else — no extra lives, no advantages, no content unlocked. Everyone plays the same game, so every leaderboard means something. No accounts. No sign-ups. Free to play.
