Description

Entertaining and challenging tap game that adapts to the player's skill level, providing a rewarding challenge for both novice and expert tappers of all ages!

Game play involves tapping various objects, including multiple sets of cute critters that taunt the player with faces and sounds and react accordingly when tapped.

Tappable objects appear randomly on-screen and scurry about trying to avoid being tapped - appearing more frequently and moving faster as the player demonstrates their tapping skills.

Play it your way:
  • Settings allow player to establish size of tappable objects, as well as the speed and motion characteristics of the objects in the game.
  • Player can establish game play time in 30 second increments from 30 to 180 seconds.
  • Player can choose from custom musical themes or select any iTunes music available on their device.
  • Player can select from a host of tappable objects, including:
    • Cute but sassy critters which taunt the player
    • Symbols (letters, numbers, Katakana characters, Chinese Zodiac ideograms)
    • Food groups (candy, fruit, pizza, cheese, hoagies, Easter eggs)
    • Astronomy (planets, telescopes, galaxies, nebulae, star clusters)
    • Vintage toys
    • Sports and Musical items
    • Cars, Jets, Airplanes
  • Player can mute music and/or critter/object sounds to suit their preferences
No complicated levels to navigate or hurdles to overcome, just pure tapping fun for toddlers, tweens, teens, and adults from young to senior!

No in-app purchases or advertisements!
