ZenDots is a delightfully playful mashup of old school pinball, and classic brick breakers! Take a few minutes to drop some dots! Use the flippers to whack the white dot into the color dots. Let the color dots fall off the screen, without losing your white dot. When all the color dots are gone, the level is cleared!
Drift Moon
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drift Moon is a minimal, hypnotic arcade game set in deep space. A luminous moon revolves around a glowing star. One tap hops it outward to the next ring. Another tap brings it back. Between the rings, debris arcs drift past on slow, predictable curves. Thread the gaps. Keep going. It is easy to learn. It is hard to put down. HOW IT WORKS Tap the left half of the screen to hop your moon inward, toward the centre. Tap the right half to hop outward, toward the rim. The moon moves in a clean arc, briefly phasing through the ring transition so every hop is safe in transit. Debris spawns ahead of you, giving you time to read the pattern. At least one ring is always clear. The game is fair by design. WHAT MAKES DRIFT MOON DIFFERENT - Deep space calm: no explosions, no chaos, just a moon and a field of slowly drifting hazards - Structural fairness: the engine guarantees at least one hazard-free orbit at all times - Five cosmetic skins (Luna, Ember Giant, Aurora, Pulsar, Nebula), each a coordinated palette for your moon, trail, rings and the central body - Stardust pickups reward precision, building combo chains for higher scores - A seeded Daily Orbit so every player runs the same field on the same day DAILY ORBIT A new seeded run is generated every day. Compete on Game Center against every other player on exactly the same debris pattern. SKINS AND PROGRESSION Reach score milestones to unlock five cosmetic skins. Play looks identical across skins so readability never depends on which you choose. No pay to win, ever. PREMIUM Drift Moon is free to play. No energy timers, no subscriptions. One optional tip jar supports development and lights a warm glow beneath your orbits. Tap. Hop. Survive. One more run.
