I built an addictive, minimalist survival game for Android. Here is "Endless Tap Survival" โšก

Hey Devs! ๐Ÿ‘‹
I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: Endless Tap Survival.

We all know the feeling of those simple, yet frustratingly addictive games where "just one more try" turns into an hour of gameplay. That was exactly my inspiration. I wanted to create something that tests your reflexes to the limit, without complex mechanics or pay-to-win barriers.

๐ŸŽฎ The Concept
The core mechanic is deceptively simple: Tap to stay alive.

It sounds easy, but it's all about rhythm and focus. You need to tap the screen continuously to keep your character alive.

Tap too slow? Game over.

Tap too fast? You might lose your rhythm when obstacles appear.

Itโ€™s a pure test of endurance and reflexes.

โœจ Key Features
I focused on a clean, minimalist experience for the players:

Infinite Gameplay: There is no end, only your high score. The longer you survive, the harder it gets (progressive difficulty).

Free to Play: No hidden purchases or pay-walls to progress. It is 100% skill-based.

Detailed Stats: As a dev, I love data. So I built a stats system where you can track your total playtime, best scores, and total taps.

Offline Mode: No internet connection required to play.

Achievements: Unlockable milestones to keep you motivated.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tech Stack & Performance
Building for mobile requires strict performance optimization. I designed Endless Tap Survival to be extremely lightweight. It runs smoothly on almost any Android device without lag, ensuring that if you lose, it's because of your reflexes, not the frame rate!

๐Ÿš€ Try it out!
I would love to get feedback from the community on the gameplay feel and the difficulty curve.

You can download it for free on the Google Play Store:

Happy coding (and tapping)! โšก
