A pin sweeps around the dial. Tap the moment it lines up with the target and the lock pops open. Miss by a fraction and the run is over. That is the whole game. It gets harder because the pin speeds up, the target shrinks, and the direction flips every time you hit it. LEVELS Every level changes something. Faster sweeps, tighter windows, targets in places you were not looking. Find out how far you get before your timing breaks. INFINITE No levels and no ceiling. One run until you miss. This is where the leaderboard scores come from. GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Pick a name, pick your country, and see exactly where you land against players worldwide. Filter to your own region when the global board feels out of reach. PLAYS ON BOTH The full game runs on iPhone and Apple Watch. One purchase covers both, and every score lands on the same leaderboard whichever one you played on. Works offline and syncs the next time you reconnect. A round takes ten seconds, so it fits in a lift ride or a queue. WHAT IS NOT IN IT No ads. No energy timers. No waiting to play again. No in-app purchases. You buy it once and that is the whole thing. Requires iOS 18 or later. Apple Watch Series 4 and later, SE, and Ultra.
