HEROES WITH THEIR OWN WAY TO FIGHT Bring a hero into battle and choose when to use their signature skill. Unlock stronger techniques as you progress, and face bosses in swipe-action duels.

Tap fast. Stay focused. Build your own arcade. Clicker Rush is a fast paced retro arcade tapping game where glowing targets appear across a board of ten keycaps. Hit each target before it disappears, protect your energy, avoid dangerous bombs, and keep pushing for a higher score. The rules are simple, but the challenge grows with every stage. More targets appear at the same time, the pace becomes more intense, and every decision tests your speed and focus. How to Play Tap a keycap when a target appears. Accurate hits increase your score and restore energy. Missing a target or pressing an empty key drains energy. Avoid bombs or take a major energy penalty. Keep your energy above zero and aim for a new high score. Fast Arcade Gameplay Start with a single target and learn the rhythm of the board. As your score increases, up to six targets can appear across ten different keys. Stay calm, scan the entire board, and react quickly. Progressive Stages Each stage introduces a new level of pressure. Reach score milestones, take a short break, and prepare for a faster challenge. Pass the final stage to enter Endless Mode and find out how long you can survive. Create Your Own Keycaps Design original keycaps with an 8 by 8 pixel editor. Choose a keycap shape, customize its colors and pixel design, and select a switch with its own sound and feel. Customize Your Push Pop Board Arrange your favorite keycaps across all ten slots. Choose a frame style and target effect, then save different combinations as presets. Create a board that looks and sounds like your own arcade machine. Build Your Collection Save the keycaps you create and use them in different board setups. Experiment with new designs, sounds, colors, and combinations whenever you want. Retro Arcade Style Enjoy colorful pixel graphics, satisfying key sounds, responsive controls, and a playful arcade atmosphere designed for quick and exciting sessions. Easy to learn and difficult to master, Clicker Rush combines reaction speed, concentration, pixel art, and customization in one compact arcade experience. Create your keycaps, build your board, and start the rush.
