Dabanggu: Tag & Rescue Game

All caught? Rock-paper-scissors picks the new taggers and play goes on until the bell. Rescue as a runner, chase as a tagger. 3 yards, 12 stages.

The moment you touch the pole, every caught friend breaks free. "Dabanggu!"

Dabanggu is the tag-and-rescue game played in Korean alleys until sunset, rebuilt for one hand on a portrait screen. Rock-paper-scissors picks the taggers, and when every runner is caught, the caught players play again. You will be a runner one moment and a tagger the next.

[How to play]

• Everyone plays rock-paper-scissors at the start. The two or three who lose tie on a red headband and become the taggers.
• While the taggers count to five, the runners scatter.
• Get tagged and you join the hand-in-hand line at the pole. When any free runner touches the pole or a caught friend, everyone in the line goes free.
• Everyone caught is not the end. The caught players play rock-paper-scissors, and the losers become the new taggers.
• As a tagger, you pounce just by moving toward a nearby runner. Catch them all and you are back on the runners' side.
• A round lasts about 2 minutes and ends with the bell. Points for rescues, dodges, and catches decide your stars (0 to 3).
• Tap the screen while caught to shout "Help!" and call a friend.

[Features]

• Taggers that trade roles as the round unfolds: one guards the pole while another hunts you down and pounces, and a tagger who means it gets faster for a while.
• Friends with their own tempers: the timid ones, the rascals who tease the guard, and the loyal ones who go in first.
• 3 yards (the Empty Lot, Sunset Alley, the Schoolyard) and 12 stages, with up to 11 players and 3 taggers as you climb. Finish a stage, then spend your stars to open the next one.
• Choose 1 of 3 control styles: floating joystick / swipe to steer / tap to go
• Hand-drawn picture-book art with a school-notebook feel
• Korean, English, and Japanese
• No sign-up and no login. Playable offline (internet is used only for ads).

[Free to play, with ads]

• Free, with no cap on how many rounds you can play and no in-app purchases.
• A full-screen ad may appear between rounds, and an ad may also appear when you open the app. Ads never appear during a round.
