Barkoff

Features
Read full description

Five bosses. Ten seconds each. One microphone. Barkoff is a single-player boss ladder for your voice. Each fight lasts eight to ten seconds and is scored on two things: how FAST you bark and how LOUD. Speed counts for more — anyone can shout, but holding two barks a second while a dog barks back is another matter. WHAT MAKES IT HARD Volume alone will not carry you. The meter weighs your bark rate above your volume, so a fight is a rhythm test with a loudness floor. Each boss denies you one of the two axes and dares you to win the other. THE FIVE • Pipsi — small, fast, deeply annoying. Your warm-up. • Turbo Bublik — a loaf with a motor. Out-shout him; you won't out-pace him. • DJ Havkins — reads the room and adapts fastest. • Baron von Gavstein — old money, enormous lungs. Beat him on speed. • MEGAHAV — fast and loud. Good luck. Each stays locked until you beat the one before it. Medals record how convincingly you won. NO SPEECH RECOGNITION The app measures two numbers: how far a sound sits above the noise in your room, and how long it lasts. It cannot tell what you are saying and does not care what language you speak. SINGLE PLAYER, NO NETWORK No accounts, no leaderboards, no online opponents, and no network requests of any kind. Everything runs on your phone. PRIVACY The microphone is analysed live on device and discarded. Nothing is recorded, stored or transmitted. Ten seconds a fight. Your neighbours will still hear it.

Reaction Test

How fast are your reflexes? Reflex Rush times every tap and gives you the number — your average reaction in milliseconds, run after run, charted so you can see whether you are actually getting faster. Each round lasts 30 seconds. Targets appear and shrink; hit them to build a combo, hit them dead centre for a Perfect, and drive the multiplier up through Fever and Overdrive before the clock runs out. WHAT'S IN IT • Four endless modes — Standard, Sudden Death, Marathon and Bullseye — unlocked as you level up • A 20-level challenge ladder across four themed chapters, one to three stars per level • A soundtrack that plays along with you — every hit lands in key, the music builds with your combo • Your reaction-time trend, charted: a best is a trophy, a trend is progress • Daily challenge, a seven-day login ladder and a weekly event • 24 achievements and six ranks to climb • 24 target skins and 10 arena themes • Game Center leaderboards for score, combo, perfects and fastest average reaction • iCloud sync, so your records follow you to your other devices • Challenge a friend — send your score as a link and they play the same run Built for one hand and short sessions. Every sound and every particle is generated on the device: no account to create, no extra download, and the game itself plays offline. Free to play. Optional ads let you continue a run or double your coins; an occasional ad may show after a round. Skins, coin packs and the one-time Pro upgrade (which removes ads) are optional.
