About

Boxism

Features
Read full description

Arrows crash in from every direction. Your only defence: a spinning four-coloured box at the centre of the screen. Rotate it so each arrow meets its matching-coloured face — miss, and your shields take the hit. Lose them all, and it's game over. Boxism is a one-thumb arcade reflex game that's easy to learn and maddeningly hard to put down. FEATURES • 16 attack angles — arrows fly in from the full compass, not just four sides • Shields & combo scoring — misses cost a shield, not the run; streaks build a score multiplier; earn shields back every 50 points • Hold to spin — tap for precision, hold for speed; the rotation accelerates the longer you press • Juice — particle bursts, screen shake, slow-motion death, and haptic feedback on every catch • Procedurally generated & always fair — every run is solvable; difficulty ramps smoothly over time • Instant restart — back in the action in under a second • Leaderboard — compete for the highest score (Game Center)
