Nanobot Pulse
Pop three. Repaint the line.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
In every other chain shooter, the explosion is the end. Here, the explosion is your weapon.
NANOBOT PULSE is a match-three chain shooter where pixels spray down the line and repaint whatever they land on. Paint a bot past half and it flips color. Flipped bots can pop in turn. Engineer the cascade.
HOW IT PLAYS
Tap to fire, hold to aim — the aim line says what the shot will do before you let go. Fuse color-wheel neighbors into a bot that matches either. Paint the pale Ghostgrids before they'll match anything. Scatter the static swarms that never pop. If the head of the line reaches the bad sector, that's a breach — and RETRY is one tap.
THE METER
Every pop fills it, cascades fill it faster, and a full meter is one powerup: FREEZE the line, REVERSE it and keep the ground you win back, or BOMB the target and its neighbors. Nothing a powerup does fills the meter — the only road to the next one is another cascade.
FORTY WORLDS, 320 SECTORS
Six campaign worlds, one idea each — then the deep worlds, where the routes jump through portals and duct off the edge of the board and back.
EVERY WORLD ENDS ON A BOSS
The Leader: a bot too big to match, walking for the exit the whole time. Pop the stream, fill the meter, put the bomb in the boss.
SECTORS THAT CHANGE THE JOB
Hold the line against a clock with no quota. Mend damaged bots with the one color each is asking for. Cut a lane for the courier carrying the sector's last clean copy — the sooner it's out, the higher the score.
ONE CARD PER RULE
New rules get a card on the sector that shows them, and the round holds still the first time your paint flips a bot. Every sector has a briefing before you commit.
MADE FOR SHORT ROUNDS
Played in portrait, one-handed, a round in a minute or two. Handcrafted retro-neon art, a synth soundtrack, configurable sound and haptics.
FULLY OFFLINE
No accounts, no servers, no sign-in. Play on a plane.
Made with care by Archivium Labs.
