Waxy is a soft wax ball that you crack with your fingertips. Press and hold, then let go, and the wax cracks with a snap. Tap it, and rub the cracked wax to melt it away. You can also use two fingers to squeeze both sides, pull it apart, or rub it. Real recorded crunchy sounds and haptics follow every move. As you collect Squeeze, bring in Squish Buddies. They keep squeezing while you rest, and Squeeze that piles up while the app is closed is waiting when you come back. Collect 16 Mallangs from 3 kinds of Mystery Bags, and fuse matching ones. The odds for each bag are shown in the game. When a wax shell appears, crack it with good timing to open the next series. Once your ball has grown enough, get a New Ball. Your Wax Shards stay with you, so the next ball grows faster. There are 6 basic balls, 6 new balls, and 11 balls with their own shapes, like an egg, a peach, a grape cluster, a donut and a burger. Each one opens as you smash more balls, and stays open once you have it. - Squeeze, smash, tap, and rub to melt - Two-finger squeeze, pull and rub - Real recorded sounds and haptics - Squish Buddies and Squeeze earned while you are away - 16 Mallangs to collect and fuse - Wax shell cracking and New Ball - Daily tasks, 7-day check-in, Milestones and collection rewards - 23 balls - Available in 10 languages No account needed.
