* My YouTube channel is 'TIS' (search for 'hermit in anthill' on YouTube to find it). Most major activities—such as update announcements, promotional videos, and community engagement—will take place here. * A One-Touch Action Game Set in the Open Skies. Plunging unexpectedly into the sky, your character is fixed at the center and moves only forward. Strip away all complex controls—your survival and victory depend entirely on a single touch button. This is not a traditional side-scrolling shooter. It is a tactical action game where stopping your movement is the core mechanic. * An indie game stripped of distractions to focus on pure, core gameplay. Enjoy the experience entirely for free—with no in-app purchases or forced ads. * Important features - 'Stopping' : Holding the touch button stops you completely, and it will summon the clockwise-rotating sphere. Stopping is alpha and omega in this game genre. - 'Bakua bomb' : Hold the button to charge the red gauge and unleash 'bakua bomb', a powerful strike. However, if you don't get close to the target, it detonates and leads to self-destruction. - 'boss point' : Your path is blocked by exactly 3 ultimate entities known as 'boss points.' perhaps...not so easy. - One Simple Goal is 'Reach' : Your only mission is to break through the obstacles and successfully reach the destination at the end of the stage. - No mid-game saves : Reaching a mini checkpoint lets you retry from that spot when you die—but remember, progress is saved only upon final completion. * Recommended For Players Who: - Prefer very simple controls. - Want a challenging game on a mobile device. - Do not like in-app payments or ads.

The dead come in waves. You have one thumb and forty-five seconds until the next one. Bonefall is a survival horde game for a phone held in one hand. Move with the stick, drink when you must — everything else your character does on its own. Every forty-five seconds the ground gives up more of them: skeletons with swords, orcs with axes, and every tenth wave something that was buried in armour. THREE WAYS TO FIGHT A warrior who holds the line and clears what surrounds him. An archer who trades armour for distance and volume. A mage whose staff only keeps him alive while his spells do the killing. Each carries its own weapon, its own skill tree and its own reason to die differently. TREES THAT MAKE YOU CHOOSE A hundred nodes across the classes, in tiers behind gates. Ranks, not toggles: put five points into one blow or spread them thin. Nothing leaves your pool until you confirm it, so a plan can be laid out and taken back. LOOT THAT CHANGES THE NUMBERS Weapons in five rarities with affixes that add up. Boxes bought with what the dead dropped, opened on the spot. Every stat on the sheet is the sum of what you are carrying and what you spent, and both are shown before you commit. MADE FOR THE HAND, NOT THE DESK Portrait. One thumb on the stick, potions where the other thumb rests. The interface is laid out inside the safe area, so nothing hides under the island or the home bar. NO STRINGS No account. No connection. No timers waiting for you to come back. Start it on a train and it plays.
