One swipe. One rule. How far can you go? Dragxball is the arcade puzzle game built for players who can't stop at just one more level. Drag your glowing ball through walls, spinning barriers, and impossibly tight gaps — then do it again, faster. ONE-TOUCH CONTROLS Intuitive drag mechanics that take seconds to learn but keep you chasing perfection. Smooth, precise, and deeply satisfying every run. ENDLESS LEVELS, NEVER THE SAME Every level is procedurally generated — no two runs are identical. Moving walls close in, barriers spin faster, and gaps shrink to a sliver. The challenge never stops escalating. COMBO SCORING & PERSONAL BESTS Chain clean runs to multiply your score. Your best level is always tracked. Every retry picks up right where you left off — no progress lost. STUNNING NEON VISUALS Dynamic themes, glowing effects, and particle explosions on every collision. The obstacles look gorgeous — right up until they destroy you. PERFECT FOR ANY SESSION Two minutes in line or two hours on the couch — Dragxball fits any play style. No story to follow. Just one more level. Download Dragxball and find out how far your drag skills can really take you.
