GRAZE: Edge Rush - One-tap iPhone game where you score by almost dying.

Score by almost dying. GRAZE: Edge Rush is a one-tap neon runner where you only earn points by flying right next to obstacles. The closer you skim, the faster your multiplier climbs, all the way to Critical. Everyone gets the same new course every day, so the leaderboard is pure skill. Race friends on their exact run, climb weekly leagues, and collect aliens that evolve into legends. Built one-handed at 3am holding my newborn son. Free on iPhone.

Hey PH 👋

Every game punishes you for getting close to the thing that kills you. This one pays you for it.

One tap. The closer you graze a lethal edge, the faster your multiplier climbs, up to x16. Play it safe and you score literally zero, so the optimal line and the terrifying line are the same line.

The part I'm proudest of: the daily course is generated from the date itself. No server, no level data, nothing downloaded. Every player on earth flies an identical run. 100 people are on today's board already and it's open until midnight UTC.

Built as a single HTML file, about 1,700 lines of vanilla JS on a canvas. No engine, no framework, no build step, and not a single image or audio file: every shape is drawn at runtime and every sound is a Web Audio oscillator.

Free on iOS, no forced ads, no IAP - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/graze-edge-rush/id6785326186

Tell me what you score, best all-time. I'll go first: 48,345 (I am still the reigning champion)

Happy to answer anything about the architecture.
