Cardslinger Support

Last updated: 27 May 2026

Cardslinger is a one-handed arcade game where you flick playing cards at falling targets. This page covers how to play, common questions, and how to get help.

How to play

Flick — swipe a finger across the screen to throw a card in that direction. The faster your flick, the faster the card flies and the more it spins.
Slice fruit — fruit and bottles split cleanly when struck by a fast, spinning card. Slow flicks only bruise them.
Knock over cans — most cans fall over with any solid hit.
Crack armor — armored targets need multiple hits.
Avoid bombs — bombs hurt you when struck. Flick around them, or pick the Detonator upgrade to turn them into a payday.
Don’t miss — three missed targets ends the run.
Pick an upgrade — between rounds, choose one of three. Each upgrade levels up to five stars. Stack them for a wilder run.

Frequently asked questions

The game runs slowly or stutters.

Try closing other apps, then restarting Cardslinger. If you are running iOS Low Power Mode, the system caps performance system-wide. The game targets iOS 16 and newer; older devices may run at a lower frame rate.

Audio is missing or the music doesn’t loop.

Check the mute switch on the side of your device and make sure the in-game audio toggle is on. If you started the game with the device muted and unmuted it later, tap the screen once to resume audio — iOS requires a user gesture to start audio after a silent start.

Haptics aren’t firing.

Haptics require an iPhone with a Taptic Engine (iPhone 7 and later) and require System Haptics to be enabled in iOS Settings → Sounds & Haptics. iPads do not have haptic feedback.

Can I turn off screen shake and pop animations?

Yes. Enable Reduce Motion in iOS Settings → Accessibility → Motion. Cardslinger respects the setting live — screen shake and combo-pop scale animations switch off immediately.

How do I reset my high score or progress?

Delete and reinstall the app from the App Store. All local progress is removed.

Does the game collect any data?

No. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Does the game work offline?

Yes. Cardslinger does not require an internet connection.

Are there in-app purchases?

No. The game is the whole game.
