Hold to thrust. Release to fall. One mistake ends your run.
Rocket Tap is a pure-reflex arcade survival game with one mechanic that hooks you instantly: tap and hold the screen to fire your rocket upward, let go and gravity drags it down. Thread the gap in each barrier wall to score a point. As your score climbs, the gaps get tighter, the speed rises, and asteroids start crossing your path. Simple to learn. Brutal to master.
HOW TO PLAY
Tap and hold anywhere on screen to thrust your rocket upward. Release and it falls. Navigate through the gap in each scrolling barrier wall to score. Miss the gap — instant game over. Every gate you clear increases the speed and tightens the next gap. Survive long enough and asteroid hazards join the mix, demanding sharper reflexes and faster reads.

DIFFICULTY AND PROGRESSION
Rocket Tap eases you in with wide gaps and a comfortable scroll speed, then quietly raises the stakes with every gate you pass:
- Scroll speed increases continuously as your score grows
- Barrier gap width shrinks from generous to razor-thin
- Gate frequency increases — less breathing room between walls
- Asteroids of varying sizes enter at higher scores, crossing the screen at unpredictable angles
There is no finish line. No final level. Just you, your rocket, and the next gate.
REPLAYABILITY
Each session is generated fresh. Gate gaps vary, coin and shield positions shift, asteroid paths change. Whether you are chasing a new personal best, farming coins to extend a strong run, or simply caught in the one-more-run loop that this genre does best — there is always a reason to tap again.
