Brickflow is a one-finger brick-breaking game designed for pure flow state. No lives. No game over. Just you, the ball, and an endless wall of bricks. HOW TO PLAY Drag left or right to move the paddle. Break bricks. Keep the streak going. That's it. DAILY CHALLENGE One board a day, generated from the date - the same layout for every player on the planet. Three minutes on the clock, one run, one score. Power-ups are switched on for everyone in it, so the ranking is about how you played. Your place appears the moment the run ends, and the full leaderboard is one tap away. No account needed. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Send anyone the exact board you just played, with your score to beat. Same bricks, same bombs, same three minutes, one attempt. They tap the link and they are straight into it. FEATURES - Combo multiplier system - chain breaks for x2, x3, x4 bonus points - Power-ups: Wide Paddle, Multi-Ball x3, Laser Pierce - 5 mood themes: Ocean, Forest, Sunset, Candy - and Midnight with Premium - Procedural 8-bit audio - every hit sounds satisfying - Game Center leaderboards and achievements - Detailed stats: bricks destroyed, best streak, sessions played LEVEL PATTERNS Pyramids, tunnels, concentric rings, waves and diamonds, with a fortress boss every tenth level. Bombs are placed where a chain reaction actually pays off. FREE VERSION SHOWS ADS A single banner at the bottom of the screen during endless play - never during the Daily Challenge or a friend's challenge, where everyone gets the same board and the same screen. Premium removes it everywhere, for good. PREMIUM - ONE-TIME UNLOCK ($0.99) - Power-ups activated in the endless mode (they are free for everyone in the Daily Challenge) - Midnight theme unlocked - Auto mood transitions every 50 bricks - Dense particle trails - Ad-free forever No subscription. No tricks. One purchase, permanent. Brickflow is part of the one-finger games series by eightbit.studio.
