A unique touch-only puzzle game. The board is full of squares. The board is zooming. Box the squares with one finger before the zoom takes you out. HOW BOXOOM WORKS Tap and drag and form a box around squares to clear them. Miss a board, lose health. No more health ends your boxing quest. SPECIAL SQUARES Not every square is created equal. Some help you. Some help the zoom. Others are just in your way. Master them all. SCORE Clear boards without taking damage to build your combo multiplier. Play at full speed for double points. THE GAME • 120+ hand-made boards across 4 board sets that escalate from gentle introduction to total chaos • Endless mode — the zoom never ends. Out-box your last score before it ends you. • Challenge Mode — build, play, send. Your score on your board is the score your friend needs to beat. • Original soundtrack by 8 Bit Weapon — composed on real AdLib and Sound Blaster sound cards from the late 1980s. • 4 free palettes MORE IF YOU WANT IT • A fifth board set with 60 more hand-made boards • Two additional music tracks by 8 Bit Weapon • Themed palette packs • Premium skins themed around other Gabboco Games like Burger Ninja and Life In The Analog Age. Each skin includes its own palette, animated sprites, backgrounds, and music. With even more games on the way.

Bubble Swing

Bubble Swing: Extreme is a fun physics puzzle game for all ages - a bubble shooter where timing, not aiming, decides everything. You don't aim. You let go. A bubble hangs from a crane on a swinging chain. It is moving before you touch the screen and it will keep moving after. Swipe to cut, and everything that happens next was decided in the instant you chose - the speed it had, the angle it was travelling, the wall it will glance off on the way down. Cut a moment early and it falls short. A moment late and it sails past. There is no aiming line, no dotted arc, no second chance. There is a pendulum and there is your timing, and the whole game lives in the gap between them. THE PILE GROWS THE WRONG WAY Forget everything a bubble shooter taught you. Here the bubbles stack up from the floor, and they hang off it - cut a group's last link to the ground and the whole cluster tears away and falls out of the level. Learn to read the pile from underneath and you can drop half a board with one bubble. AND IT IS COMING FOR YOU A crane is winching the whole platform upward, one row at a time, toward a line you must not cross. You get a warning: a few seconds of the pile shuddering before it lifts. A few seconds to find a shot, or to spend something. SIX THINGS TO SPEND A bomb that clears everything it touches. A saw that shears straight through the pile and keeps falling. Electricity that leaps between neighbours whatever their colour. A teleport that hunts every bubble sharing a colour with what it lands against. A one-ton weight that slams the platform back down a row. And a sniper scope that masks the screen to a single hole you walk across the board by tilting the phone. HUNDREDS OF BOARDS, AND THEY ARE NOT RANDOM They were drawn. Flags, fruit, faces, mosaics, geometry, and one board with a hungry mouth left open, waiting to be fed. Every one of them is a picture before it is a puzzle, and every one can be taken apart if you find the right thread to pull. Reach the end and the game does not stop. It folds back and keeps counting, and the number on your screen keeps climbing. ALSO INSIDE - Game Center leaderboard and achievements, several of them genuinely hard - Tilt controls for the scope and the parachute - Picks up exactly where you left off, even if the app was closed mid-swing - Universal - iPhone and iPad Bubble Swing: Extreme - a fun, fast puzzle game built on physics, timing, and a pile that will not wait. Easy to pick up, hard to put down.
