BLAST

Move fast. Think faster.

Run the track. Read the sign. Pick a lane. One lane grows your ammo, the other starves it, and the zombies ahead cost exactly what the last sign paid for. You have about a second.

How it plays

Every sign is a choice.

Two lanes, two signs, no previews. Add, multiply, halve or take away, and the number over your head changes the instant you pass through. The arithmetic is the game.

Sign 1AMMO12
+7
19
×2
24

At 12, ×2 wins. At 6 it would lose.

Sign 2AMMO24
÷2
12
−13
11

Both hurt. ÷2 hurts less, by one.

  • The number is your blaster

    More ammo, more fire. The horde ahead is priced to the sign you just passed, so a wrong lane brings the zombies closer.

  • Hits cost hearts, not ammo

    Logs, crates and beams share the track with the math. Three hearts, no more, and nothing on the trail gives one back.

  • Swipe, jump, slide, fast fall

    One thumb. Swipe to change lanes, up to jump, down to slide, down again in the air to drop early.

Meet the squad

Five heroes, and more to come.

  • Max

    MAX

    First on the track, last to blink.

  • Zoe

    ZOE

    Reads the sign before it finishes rendering.

  • Bolt, a white and orange robot

    BOLT

    Runs the numbers. Literally.

  • Zig, a grinning green alien

    ZIG

    Not from around here. Great at long division.

  • LEGENDARYRev, calm grin, navy vest and a gold-trimmed blaster

    REV

    Calm under fire. Never misses a sum.

The horde

Priced to the sign you just passed.

Grunts, runners, heavies, ironhides, and the shield bots that hide behind them. Every tenth level ends in a boss, and the fight starts the moment you stop running.

The Daily Run

One track a day. The whole world runs it.

Same seed for everyone, faster every metre. Three quick signs, then a brute, and it only speeds up until the sharpest survive. Second chances buy you back in. The boards remember who went furthest.

  • 5 IN A ROW · SHARP!
  • 10 IN A ROW · BIG BRAIN
  • 15 IN A ROW · GENIUS
  • 50 IN A ROW · SUPERCOMPUTER

What's inside

Built for one more run.

  • 100 levels, 10 worlds

    Whistling Woods to the final fortress: forest, canyon, snow, city, jungle, volcano, lab, space, alien fields.

  • Hold the Line

    The horde comes to you. Stand your ground and never stop firing: aim at the zombies, at the better half of a math sign, or at a boost to shoot it open. Train your heroes to hold one more wave.

  • Five heroes

    Max, Zoe, Bolt, Zig, and the legendary Rev. Pick yours on the map before every run.

  • Leaderboards

    For the Daily Run and for Hold the Line: today, this week and all time. Plus your own correct-in-a-row record.

  • Streak call-outs

    Five right in a row and the track tells you. Fifty and it calls you a supercomputer.

  • Power-ups

    Rapid Fire, Shield, Magnet, extra ammo, extra hearts. Every upgrade says what it does and why it matters.

  • The Return Trail

    A gift for every day you come back: coins, second chances, shields, infinite ammo.

  • Free every day

    Four new levels, one Daily Run and one Hold the Line stand on the house, every day. Replay anything you have cleared as often as you like. The Unlimited Pass lifts all three caps.

WARNING

Side effects may include getting very, very smart.

Faster thinking. Sharper reflexes. Doing arithmetic in your head at parties. If that scares you, proceed with caution.

Not medical advice. Definitely math advice.
