Skyburst: Firework Duels is a firework-artillery duel. Two launchers face off across a deformable crystal battlefield under a shifting wind. Aim the arc, fire, then tap mid-flight to time the bloom — land the burst on your rival's launcher to shatter its integrity. Every shot reshapes the terrain, so no two duels play the same. • Gauntlet: an endless run against an AI that sharpens as you win — chase your best streak • Hot-seat: pass-and-play, two artificers dueling on one device • Campaign: ten acts of rival artificers, six duels each, 1–3 stars per duel • Daily Duel: one shared, seeded duel a day, the same worldwide — keep your streak alive • Encore: after a lost duel, take one more shot to turn it around • Game Center leaderboards, achievements, and friend challenges • No account and no sign-up — plays offline, at your own pace • Free with occasional interstitials; a single one-time purchase removes ads Aim the arc. Time the bloom.
