Summary

Tap Hit is an arcade-style puzzle game developed by our studio to expand our knowledge in mobile game development.

The game presents players with real-time challenges to destroy barrels and solve puzzles. To solve these puzzles, players must utilize a variety of power-ups such as Multi-Ball, Size Up, and Teleport. As the player progresses through the levels, they must strategically navigate and activate buttons to advance while carefully managing their remaining shots.
