ZUPI

Features
Read full description

A Pulse Core holds the bottom of the screen. Everything else is falling towards it. Drag the Pulse Shield anywhere on screen to deflect what comes down. Hold still for three seconds and the run ends, so ZUPI is a game about continuous movement rather than tapping. THE PULSE Deflecting charges the shield. Release that charge as a Pulse: a shockwave that clears the field, and the only thing that breaks armour-plated threats, which pass straight through an ordinary deflection. From level two onward, knowing when to spend it is the game. WHAT YOU FACE - Armour-plated threats only the Pulse can break - Weaving threats that refuse to fall straight - Trackers that steer toward the Pulse Core - Splitters that break in two when you deflect them - Heavy threats that shrug off a glancing hit - Wardens every fifth level, three-phase bosses every tenth - Guard bands that close part of the field and force a new defensive line 600 levels across six worlds, generated from a difficulty model so every level is a fixed, repeatable challenge with a start and an end, not an endless run. All playable offline. WHAT YOU GET - 600 levels, all offline - A global leaderboard alongside your own device records - 50 languages - One-thumb control: drag anywhere on the screen - An optional ad-free subscription ZUPI is a pure skill game. The subscription removes ads only. It grants no extra lives and no scoring advantage, so the leaderboard stays fair for everyone.

I created GLOB.IO for (and together with) my son as a nod to classic Flash and .io genre. Orbit tiny worlds, launch yourself through space and grind down planets for points. Chase smaller rival globs, avoid the giant globs, collect power-ups and keep growing as big as planets as the arena gets more chaotic. Spend collected gold on permanent upgrades, unlock new looks and work your way through dozens of badges! FEATURES • Classic .io-style multiplayer chaos, reimagined as a single-player mobile arcade game • Orbit planets, launch through space and hunt rival globs • POWER, SPEED, BOUNCE and PHASE POWER-UPS • Permanent UPGRADES and unlockable SKINS • 93 BADGES to discover • Portrait and landscape play on iPhone and iPad • Kids-safe!
