Bumblewick: a one-tap juggling game about a wizard’s apprentice who keeps dropping things (iOS, out now)
Bumblewick is a one-tap arcade game I made about a wizard's apprentice
who isn't very
good at magic yet. Enchanted stuff keeps falling out of the air and
your only job is to
tap it back up before it hits the floor — mooncaps, orbs, familiars,
and the odd cursed
thing you're better off letting drop.
Why it might be worth 30 seconds:
- Dead-simple controls: one tap = one bounce. Learn it in a second;
juggling 3-4 things
at once with combo chains gets genuinely tense.
- Enchanted items that change the rules mid-run (updrafts, spells,
familiars) so it
doesn't get samey.
- Cozy pace — no countdown timers, no energy system nagging you to come back.
Monetization, no BS: free to download, no banner ads. The only forced ad is a
full-screen interstitial after every 3rd loss — never during a run. Everything
else is opt-in (watch to revive, or double your run's coins). A
one-time $2.99 Remove
Ads clears the interstitials, and while there are coin packs,
everything they buy —
familiars, skins, power-ups — is also earnable just by playing. No
paywalls, nothing
pay-to-win.
Clip is real gameplay. It's on iOS now (link in the comments). I'd
love to hear how the
one-tap feel reads for you — that's the part I've iterated on most.
