Spall Field is a first-person asteroid runner. Thread the gaps, break the boulders, chain the wreckage, and see how far you get before the field closes on you. Every run is different. Every run ends. CUSTOMIZE YOUR SHIP DART is fast and fragile. WEDGE is heavier and takes a hit. SAUCER turns on a coin. Pick a hull, then set its colours the way you want them. They handle differently enough to change how you fly, not just how you look. BREAK EVERYTHING Boulders come apart into shrapnel that keeps its own momentum. Catch one in a blast radius and it takes its neighbours with it — chain reactions are worth more than clean kills, if you can survive standing that close. FLY IT HOW YOU LIKE Drag to steer and tap to fire, or tilt the phone and let the ship follow your hands. Pair a controller and use the sticks. Twenty-one settings across three pages let you tune sensitivity, dead zone, motion, and the HUD until it feels right. YOU FEEL IT Distinct haptics for every impact. A pebble breaking at distance barely registers. A boulder coming apart in your face does not. GAME CENTER One leaderboard for high scores and six achievements to chase. Your scores follow you between devices. NO STRINGS No ads. No accounts. No in-app purchases. No data collection of any kind. The entire game is bundled in the app and plays with the connection off.

A lone ronin. A moonlit bridge. Everyone who crosses it has come for you. Lantern Ronin is a one-thumb parry duel. Enemies walk in from the left and the right and telegraph their strike. Tap that side at the right moment to parry and cut them down. Tap early and you swing at nothing. Tap late and a lantern flame goes out. Three flames, then the night ends. IT PLAYS IN SECONDS - One tap per side. No virtual sticks, no menus mid-fight. - Perfect parries build combos and multiply your score. - Runs last one to two minutes. Perfect for a quick round. IT STAYS DEEP - Footmen rush. Spearmen reach from further away. Shadows feint before they strike. Brutes take two parries. - Every ten cuts brings a darker night: faster strikes, more pressure from both sides. - Daily Duel: the same enemies in the same order for everyone, once a day. Beat your friends' scores on the leaderboard and send them a challenge.
