One tap is all it takes. Place a single ball and watch a massive chain reaction unfold across the screen. Colorful balls bounce around the field. Tap to place your starter ball โ€” it expands, collides with anything nearby, and triggers a cascade of explosions. Each collision grows the chain, racking up points and clearing the field. Your goal: expand enough balls to pass the level. Simple to learn, tricky to master. Timing and placement are everything. Wait for the right moment, tap in the right spot, and watch the chain unfold. FEATURES - 26 levels across Regular and Advanced modes - One-tap gameplay โ€” easy to pick up, hard to put down - Chain reaction scoring โ€” deeper chains earn more points - Bonus balls that grow in value while expanded - Penalty balls that punish reckless chains - Clear Field Bonus โ€” pop every ball before any shrink for a massive score multiplier - 2x speed mode โ€” hold to fast-forward through chain reactions - Progress bar showing how close you are to passing each level - Game Center leaderboards to compete globally - Local leaderboards for offline play - Haptic feedback that lets you feel every collision - Smooth 120 FPS rendering on ProMotion displays - Full support for iPhone and iPad in any orientation Start with just a few balls and a low target. By the end, you'll be orchestrating chain reactions across 60 balls, dodging obstacles, and chasing high scores.
