Star Whack

Star Whack — Casual

Tap fast for 60 seconds - hit the targets, skip the bombs.

Quick read: a 60-second round with 13% bomb rate. If that sounds like your kind of five minutes, press play - it loads instantly.

Star Whack takes a familiar idea and tunes it until it clicks. Here you get a 60-second round with 13% bomb rate, wrapped in a clean, distraction-free board that works just as well on a phone as on a laptop.

How Star Whack plays

It is a pure score-attack loop. When the round ends you get your score, your best, and the itch to immediately beat it. Rounds are short enough that 'just one more' is a genuinely dangerous sentence.

Why Star Whack sticks

It suits anyone with a queue to wait in or a kettle to watch: students between classes, commuters, parents stealing ten quiet minutes. There is no meta-progression to lose and nothing to catch up on - a week away costs you nothing but a little sharpness.

How to play

1. Press play - you have 60 seconds on the clock.
2. Tap each target the moment it pops out of a hole.
3. Gold targets score extra; bombs cost a life.
4. Survive the round with your streak and lives intact.

Tips and strategy

• Gold targets first: they pay most and vanish just as fast.
• Keep your finger hovering over the centre of the grid to cut travel time.
• When the speed ramps, commit earlier - late taps miss even if they are accurate.
• Watch two adjacent holes instead of scanning all nine.
• Let a bomb pop unharmed - one save is worth more than one greedy hit.

Who it suits: Recommended for short-break players and perfectionists alike - the scoring is strict enough that a clean run always feels within reach.
