About

Blink Grid

Features
Read full description

Tiles light up. You tap them before they fade. That is the whole rulebook - and exactly why you will keep saying "one more run". BLINK GRID is a minimalist reflex game: calm pastel looks, soft haptics, and a sound that climbs the scale with your combo. A run lasts 30 to 60 seconds - longer if you are good. HOW IT WORKS - Tap glowing tiles before they fade - one missed tile ends the run - Tapped an empty tile? Forgiven. Costs your combo, never your life - Never touch the X tile - Gold pays five times the points, frost buys you a breather - Fast taps build your combo - up to triple points FRESH EVERY DAY - Daily Challenge: one run a day, identical for everyone worldwide - climb the leaderboard - Daily streak with growing rewards - Three daily missions MAKE THE GRID YOURS - 12 handcrafted themes, from Sakura to Midnight - Boosts for that one extra attempt: Shield, Slow Start, Combo Keeper - Game Center leaderboards - fully optional HONESTLY BUILT - Playable offline, no sign-up, no tracking - Everything in the game can be earned by playing - Made by a one-person studio in Germany How far can you get before the grid gets faster than you?
