Flickers: Swipe & Collect

50 creatures to find, and 1 mystery one. Flick and draw fast to collect these creatures.

Follow the Flicker. Flick the way it lunges, draw the shape it walks. Miss three times and the run is over.

Flickers is a swipe-reflex arcade game about speed and nerve — and about the small polygon creatures you collect along the way.

HOW IT PLAYS A creature shows you the move. Flick the same way — eight directions once you reach Medium — or draw the shape it traces. Beat the timer under it. Every eight in a row steps your multiplier up: 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x. A miss steps it down one rather than wiping it, so one slip never undoes a whole run.

Fourteen shapes in all, from a forgiving circle to a five-point star that has to genuinely read as a star. Precision is a property of the shape, not the tier — a wobbly circle always counts.

GET HOT Six correct in a row and the screen catches fire. From there every answer stokes it: the flames climb, your creatures glow and grow their own, and the whole crowd gets giddy. A miss doesn't put it out — it dies down, and you build it straight back.

FIFTY TO FIND Fifty creatures, from a two-shape Sprout to six-part Legendaries. The ones you own gather at the edges of the screen as your score climbs, so a good run fills up with your own collection.

There is also one more. It appears in roughly one box in a thousand, it is not listed by name until you find it, and no amount of sparks will conjure the first one — the only way to meet it is to open the box that has it.

DAILY MISSIONS Three every day, drawn from the date itself so everyone gets the same set. They pay out the moment you finish them — no claiming, no waiting. Clear all three for a bonus and start a streak.

Everything you can buy is cosmetic. There are no lives for sale, no timers to skip, no way to pay your way past a hard tier. Sparks earned by playing spend exactly like sparks bought, and the mystery box publishes its odds up front. Duplicates pay sparks back rather than wasting the pull.

Ads are opt-in for rewards, a banner between runs, and a full-screen ad every few runs. Never during a run, and never in your first few games. One purchase removes both for good and gives you a free revive every run.

CLIMB, AND KEEP IT Game Center leaderboards for every tier as well as overall, so you are ranked against players at your own level rather than the all-time top ten. Your collection follows you between your own devices through iCloud, and merges rather than overwrites — opening the game on a second device can never cost you a creature.
