AsciiTapper
Retro terminal serving game
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pour, serve, and catch your way through an eight-stage career drawn entirely in glowing terminal text. Daily challenges, endless mode, and not a single ad.
Serve up frosty mugs of root beer in a glowing green terminal. AsciiTapper is a love letter to 80s arcade serving games, rendered entirely in living phosphor text.
Customers are walking up the bars and they're thirsty. Slide mugs down the bar to push them back, catch the empties before they crash, and read the room: rush the big spenders for early-serve bonuses, keep up with speedy customers, and never pour for the grumpy ones.
Features:
- An eight-stage career of 84 hand-authored shifts, each with its own twist and a Master contract
- Clear, Clean, and Master ratings on every shift
- Daily Challenge: one ranked attempt per day, the same seeded puzzle for everyone, unlimited practice afterward
- Combo scoring that rewards sustained, error-free serve-and-catch play
- Achievements tracked in-game, plus Game Center leaderboards
- A pure retro terminal aesthetic: the whole game is ASCII art, with optional cosmetic CRT themes
- Simple two-tap play: tap a lane to move, tap again to serve, and be there to catch
- No ads. Ever.
The tutorial, the first three career stages, and Daily Challenge are free. One optional Full Shift purchase unlocks stages 4 through 8 plus Endless mode. No subscriptions, and purchases never affect ranked play.
The terminal is warmed up. The mugs are cold. Tap in.
