Twelve games, twelve ways to surprise you. Raw speed, precision, inhibition, anticipation, attention: each game measures something different. Tap Zero for raw reaction time. The Gauge for millisecond precision. Red Light for holding back a movement. Stroop for resisting what you read. And eight more. TODAY'S TRIAL Three games, three constraints, one score. The same three legs for everyone, everywhere, drawn from the date itself. Turbo, reversed instructions, sudden death, fog, eclipse: the constraint changes the rules, not just the difficulty. One attempt a day. Being decent everywhere beats being brilliant at one thing. WARE MODE All twelve games back to back, faster and faster, until your five lives are gone. One round, one game, no pause. Or pass the phone around with up to eight players — last one standing wins. TIERS TO CLIMB Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond on every game. Every game is scored on the same 0–100 scale, which finally makes a precision, a reaction time and a streak length comparable. A tier once earned is never lost. YOUR PROGRESS, IN NUMBERS Your best reaction time, your curve run after run, your streak of consecutive days. Everything stays on your iPhone: no account, no sign-up, no server. IT WORKS OFFLINE On the subway, on a plane, at the cabin. Only Game Center leaderboards need a connection. BUILT TO BE FAIR Every game is calibrated to the millisecond and measured on a continuous clock: your score depends on neither your iPhone model nor its refresh rate. iOS Reduce Motion is respected, and sound and haptics turn off separately. Impulse is free. A one-time purchase removes the ads. — Studios Raxoon inc. Support: https://apps.raxoon.com/impulse/support Privacy: https://apps.raxoon.com/impulse/privacy

About

Spinbound Blast

Features
Read full description

Build a moving system of moons. Then break it apart, one orbit at a time. Spinbound Blast is a touch-controlled arcade puzzle game where timing matters. Hold anywhere in the playfield to load a moon, then release to send it into orbit. Find a gap between the moons already moving. Once the formation is complete, your cannon changes: aim and fire at the outermost orbit, then work your way inward. 30 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Start with a single, slow-moving ring and progress to layered formations, mirrored patterns, Fibonacci sequences, and mixed-speed orbits. Each level has its own rhythm to learn. HOLD, AIM, RELEASE Hold longer to reveal the aiming beam. Release quickly for an unaimed-shot bonus during clearing, chain correct hits into combos, or drag to the cancel control to discard a held shot. You have three lives to get it right. CONTROL THE PACE Hold the fast-forward control to accelerate the action. Later levels add moving Sputnik craft to shoot for bonus points. MAKE EVERY RUN COUNT Clear levels to unlock the next challenge and earn up to three badges. Improve your score and completion time, with separate Game Center leaderboards for every level. Game Center is optional; you can play without signing in. BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Enjoy native touch controls, animated orbital artwork, sound effects, and haptic feedback on supported devices. Free to play. No ads. No in-app purchases.
