Features & Capabilities

Test your dexterity! Dactyl is an addictive, fast-paced exercise for your fingers. The premise of the game is simple--defuse the bombs before they blow up. Clear your mind and put your fingers to work...

Note: Dactyl 2's first level is approximately the same thing as this app. (There is no penalty in Dactyl 2, however, for stray touches.) To get a feel on where you rank in the world, consult Dactyl 2's leader board for that level.

I hope they never ever change this game ever for any reason

I got this game way back in 2008 on my iPhone 3G! I played this a lot and got good skills at it. Over time I forgot about the game and I lost the App Store account where I got it but I eventually got it back and got the game back on my iPhone 16 Pro. Memories are coming back to me

One of my favorites from my first iPhone (3g I think). Every once in a while I need to play! What ever happened to dactyl 2? Guess your not keeping that updated, that one was really fun too!
