Strike Twice

Lightning never strikes twice. You'll want to.

You are a bolt of lightning. Every tap flips your direction, so the path you carve down the sky is a zigzag. Thread through birds, kites, planes and skyscrapers, fly dangerously close to charge up, and land on the lightning rod far below.

Survive 15 strikes to clear the storm. Then keep striking for a high score, if you dare.

How to play

• Tap, click, Space or any gamepad button to zig and zag.
• Fly close to danger without touching it. Each near-miss builds your multiplier and charge.
• Fill your charge to earn an Overcharge, which smashes through one obstacle.
• Land on the rod. Hit dead center for a bullseye.

Features

• One button, deep skill
• 15 strikes through countryside, town, city and supercell to the Eye of the Storm
• Daily Storm: the same storm for everyone, every day
• 15 medals to earn
• Plays in your browser on desktop and mobile
