Scroll Clash is a mobile arcade shooter where you command a squad of soldiers defending against waves of approaching enemies. The game features intuitive touch controls, progressive difficulty, and multiple game modes designed for quick, engaging gameplay sessions.
Scroll Clash is designed for iOS devices running iOS 15.0 or later. The game supports iPhones and iPads in portrait orientation.
When you first launch Scroll Clash, you'll see an interactive tutorial that walks you through the basics. Here's a quick overview:
Start with Campaign Mode on the Classic variant. This provides a balanced difficulty that lets you learn the mechanics while still having fun.
| Action | How To |
|---|---|
| Move soldiers | Drag left/right anywhere on screen |
| Fire weapons | Tap and hold anywhere on screen |
| Pause game | Tap the pause button (top-right) |
| Use boost | Tap the boost button during gameplay |
| Enemy | Color | Health | Speed | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | Purple | 1 HP | Normal | Easy targets, focus fire |
| Fast | Cyan | 1 HP | 2x Speed | Prioritize these, they reach you quickly |
| Tank | Orange | 5 HP | 0.5x Speed | Sustained fire required, start early |
Powerups appear as flags in the left lane with a barrier in front. You need to destroy the barrier (shoots required) before you can collect the powerup.
| Powerup | Color | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Add Soldier | Green | Adds another soldier to your squad |
| Weapon Upgrade | Blue | Cycles to next weapon type (Basic → Spread → Rapid → Laser) |
| Fire Rate | Yellow | Increases firing speed (max 5 levels) |
| Damage | Red | Increases bullet damage (max 5 levels) |
Progress through 100 levels of increasing difficulty. Each level has a target number of enemies to defeat. Complete levels to earn coins and stars based on your performance.
Face endless waves of enemies. No level structure - just survive as long as possible. Earn coins every 3 waves. Perfect for high-score chasing.
Battle 20 powerful boss enemies one after another. Bosses have significantly more health and require sustained focus. Defeat all 20 for ultimate victory.
Within Campaign mode, you can choose from 4 different variants that modify the gameplay experience:
| Variant | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Balanced, standard experience | New players, learning |
| Chaos | 2x enemies, faster spawns, start with 2 soldiers | Action lovers, experienced players |
| Tactical | Fewer but tougher enemies, rare powerups | Strategic players |
| Random | Randomized modifiers each level | Variety seekers |
Coins are the in-game currency. You can earn them through gameplay:
Boosts are temporary powerups you can purchase with coins before starting a game:
| Boost | Effect |
|---|---|
| Shield | Absorbs multiple enemy hits |
| Power Shot | Increased damage for a limited time |
| Rapid Fire | Faster firing rate for a limited time |
| Magnet | Auto-collect powerups for a limited time |
Buy multiple boosts at once for discounted pricing!
Scroll Clash has exactly one in-app purchase. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription:
| Rank | Price | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Recruit (Free) | Free | Full game access - every level, mode, theme, and boss. Earn coins through gameplay. |
| Admiral | $4.99 once | 7x coins from levels, +80 bonus coins on every daily check-in. Everything Recruit gets, permanently faster. |
Admiral is charged once and is yours forever. Nothing auto-renews, and there is nothing to cancel. It restores free of charge on any device signed in to the same Apple ID, and it keeps working offline. Scroll Clash also sells no coin packs, gems, energy, or loot boxes - coins are earned only by playing.
Captain and Admiral monthly subscriptions were retired in version 2.0. If you ever held one, your Admiral benefits are now permanent at no further charge. If Apple still lists an active Scroll Clash subscription for you, cancel it in Settings → your name → Subscriptions - you will keep your benefits after cancelling.
Scroll Clash stores your game progress locally on your device. This includes:
If you delete the app, your local progress will be lost. The Admiral unlock can always be restored, but earned coins and gameplay progress cannot.
If you reinstall the app or get a new device:

Drag your finger horizontally anywhere on the screen. Your soldier formation will move left or right following your touch. You don't need to touch the soldiers directly - swipe anywhere on the screen.
Tap and hold anywhere on the screen to fire automatically. Your soldiers will continuously shoot as long as you're touching the screen. You can move and shoot simultaneously by dragging while holding.
There's no limit! You start with 1 soldier (or 2 in Chaos mode), and can collect "Add Soldier" powerups (green flags) to grow your squad indefinitely. Each soldier fires independently, so a larger army means more firepower.
Collect blue "Weapon Up" powerups during gameplay to cycle through different weapon types:
Each weapon offers a different playstyle. Upgrades reset when you start a new game - you always begin with the Basic weapon.
Variants modify the Campaign mode's difficulty and rules:
Each variant tracks separate high scores and progress.
You earn coins through gameplay:
Players who own the one-time Admiral unlock earn 7x coins from levels.
Log in each day to receive bonus coins. Your streak increases for consecutive days, and longer streaks mean bigger rewards!
Missing a day resets your streak back to day one. Players who own the Admiral unlock also receive an extra 80 coins on every check-in.
Boosts are optional powerups you activate before starting a game. They give you advantages like shields, extra damage, or auto-collecting powerups.
Use boosts when:
You don't need boosts to complete the game - they're purely optional enhancements.
No! Scroll Clash is completely free to play. All 100 levels, all 6 game modes, all 8 themes, and all 20 bosses can be accessed without spending any money.
There is one optional purchase - the $4.99 Admiral unlock - which multiplies coin earnings and boosts the daily check-in. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and it unlocks no content that free players cannot already reach.
Scroll Clash has no subscriptions. Nothing in the app auto-renews, so there is nothing to cancel. The only purchase is a one-time $4.99 unlock.
Captain and Admiral monthly plans existed before version 2.0 and have been retired. If you held one, your Admiral benefits are now permanent at no further charge. Should Apple still show an active Scroll Clash subscription on your account, cancel it and keep your benefits:
Scroll Clash requires:
The game is optimized for portrait orientation and works on all screen sizes.
No! After the initial download, Scroll Clash works completely offline. You can play on airplanes, subways, or anywhere without WiFi.
Internet is only needed for:
Yes! Your progress saves automatically after:
Warning: If you force-quit the app during a game, that session's progress won't be saved. Always let the game end naturally.
Currently, game progress is stored locally on your device. If you backup your device through iCloud or iTunes and restore to a new device, your progress may transfer.
However, we cannot guarantee progress transfer. The Admiral unlock always restores when you sign in with the same Apple ID on the new device - tap Restore Purchases in the in-app Store.
