A cozy iOS brick-breaker with an animal-rescue heart. Aim, fire a salvo of balls, and free the caged animals before they cross the danger line. Five hand-themed rescue worlds, three difficulties, and optional Game Center leaderboards — no account required.
- Drag to aim an upward shot, then release to fire a stream of balls.
- Balls fan out, bounce off walls and cages, chip away at each cage's HP, and return to the floor.
- After every salvo the whole field descends one row and a fresh row spawns at the top.
- Watch for trap cages — let one reach the danger line and it steals a ball from your salvo.
- The run ends when a cage crosses the danger line. Your score is how many animals you free before then — multiplied by your Frenzy combo.
Five hand-themed worlds, each with its own cast of four animals, ambient music, danger line, and icons — 20 species in all. Freed animals collect in your persistent Sanctuary, and return mid-run as a helper squad.
- 🌴 Rainforest Raid — where every rescue begins
- 🌊 Ocean Haul — danger comes as a net
- ❄️ Arctic Breakout — mind the crevasse
- 🦁 Savanna Run — outrun the dust storm
- 🐄 Barnyard Liberation — beat the truck
Worlds unlock in order: clear a score milestone in one world to open the next (Pro unlocks all five instantly).
- Three difficulties — Easy / Medium / Hard — that trade starting ball count (4/2/1), how fast cage HP scales, spawn density, and power-up frequency
- Power-ups ride down in their own cages — an extra ball (A Friend Returns), a bomb, a laser, and a shield, each renamed to fit its world
- A catchable Frenzy orb that stacks a ×2–×5 score multiplier, doubles ball damage, and switches you to rapid fire
- High scores saved on device for every world × difficulty
- A persistent Sanctuary of every animal you've freed
- Coins earned every run, spent in the Shop on equippable loadout modifiers, single-use consumables, and ball & shooter kits
- Optional Game Center leaderboards — 15 boards, one per world × difficulty
- 25 app icons — five world heroes plus a portrait of every rescuer (Pro)
- Runs pick up where you left off — close the app mid-run and resume later
- Independent music, sound effects, and haptics toggles
- Universal (iPhone + iPad); portrait on iPhone, any orientation on iPad
- Fully playable offline — no account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics
- Dark by design, end to end
