A real top-down arcade shooter. Not a city-builder wearing a shooter's screenshots. Not a match-3 with a gun on the icon. You tap play, you are shooting within seconds, and it stays that way for all 100 levels. ONE PURCHASE IS THE ENTIRE STORE Scroll Clash has no subscriptions. Nothing renews, so there is nothing to cancel. There are no coin packs, no gems, no energy meters, no loot boxes, and no battle pass. There is exactly one optional in-app purchase โ€” the $4.99 Admiral unlock โ€” and it is a one-time charge that restores free of charge on every device signed in to your Apple ID. Admiral grants 7x coins from levels and +80 bonus coins on every daily check-in. It does not unlock levels, modes, themes, or bosses, because those are already free for everyone. Finish the entire game without paying a cent. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. Zero ads, ever โ€” there is no ad SDK in the app at all. No sign-up, no email, no username, no profile. Your levels, stars, coins, and streaks are stored on your device, not on our servers. There is no analytics SDK. Apart from a small configuration check and Apple's own purchase flow, nothing leaves your iPhone. PLAYS ANYWHERE, OFFLINE Airplanes, subways, dead zones, basements. The whole game runs without a connection, and the Admiral unlock keeps working offline too โ€” a one-time purchase can't lapse, so it never has to phone home to prove you own it. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข 100 campaign levels across 8 themed environments โ€” Street, City, Bridge, Ghost Town, Desert, Spaceship, Night City, Creepy Hallway โ€ข 20 boss battles in Boss Rush mode โ€ข Endless Survival mode with scaling difficulty โ€ข 6 game modes โ€” Classic, Chaos, Tactical, Random, Survival, Boss Rush โ€ข 4 weapon types โ€” Basic, Spread, Rapid, Laser โ€ข 4 tactical boosts โ€” Shield, Power Shot, Rapid Fire, Magnet โ€ข Star ratings from 1 to 3 based on your accuracy โ€ข 6 soldier skins โ€ข Daily check-in streak rewards THE BARRIER DECISION Powerups sit behind destructible wooden barriers. Every wave asks the same question: keep firing at the enemies closing on you, or divert your squad's firepower to crack open the upgrade? Guess wrong and you are outgunned two waves later. That single choice is what gives an auto-fire game something to actually think about. ONE-HANDED BY DESIGN Portrait orientation, auto-fire, and a single drag to move your squad left and right. Built to be played standing on a train holding a coffee. Rated 4+. Stylized action with no blood, no chat, no social features, and no user-generated content. Requires iOS 15.0 or later. Runs on iPhone and iPad. Scroll Clash uses Apple's Terms of Use (EULA), which may be found here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
