About

Chain Rush Z

Features
Read full description

One tap. Infinite chain reactions. Orbs bounce across the screen. Tap one to make it explode; and watch the chain reaction tear through everything nearby. The more orbs you catch in a single chain, the bigger your combo and the faster you level up. Think you can destroy them all with ONE tap? Chain Rush is the most satisfying chain reaction game you'll ever play. Tap a single orb and watch the explosion spread — popping, bursting, and blasting everything in its path. But here's the catch: you only get ONE shot. HOW TO PLAY: Hundreds of glowing orbs bounce across your screen. Tap one. If your explosion reaches other orbs, they blow up too — triggering a massive chain reaction. Hit the target number of orbs and you win the round. Miss it… and you're starting over. Simple to learn. Nearly impossible to master. FEATURES: 100+ levels that get progressively harder Unlock epic orb skins — Fire, Ice, Galaxy, Neon and more Global leader board — compete against players worldwide Daily challenges with bonus coin rewards 7-day streak system — the longer you play, the more you earn Insane particle explosion effects and screen shake Satisfying sound effects on every pop Combo multiplier — chain bigger = score bigger WHY YOU CAN'T DELETE IT: Every level feels different. Every tap could go either way. The moment you nail a 60-orb chain reaction from a single tap — you'll be hooked for life. Chain Rush is completely free to play. Earn coins, unlock skins, climb the leader board and prove you have the best aim on the planet. Download now and start the chain.
