Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Spot Blast is completely free to play, with no downloads and no purchases required. It runs directly in your browser.

Guest progress is not saved between visits. If you want your stats, badges, and leaderboard rank to persist, sign in with Google.

Each leaderboard ranks players by their single best time per level within the last 30 days — a rolling window, not a lifetime average. This keeps the boards fresh and gives everyone a real chance to climb, rather than one lucky run from months ago sitting at the top forever.

Matching three pairs quickly in a row triggers Fever Mode, which doubles your combo multiplier for a short stretch. Chaining fast, accurate matches is key to top leaderboard times.

A wrong tap adds a time penalty to your run and breaks your current combo, so accuracy matters just as much as speed.

There are 94 badges across five categories: Milestones, Speed, Accuracy, Fever & Combos, and Rank & Glory. Badges unlock automatically as you play — completing levels, hitting speed and accuracy targets, and climbing the leaderboards.
