Welcome to Timeline Blastar

Timeline Blastar is a browser-canvas shoot-em-up where you blast posts from your X timeline into pixel dust, record clips of the destruction, and post the highlight back to the network you just demolished. It's a curiosity-exploration loop disguised as a shooter.

This wiki is the player's guide. If you want the short version: connect your X account on the start screen, click BLAST THE TIMELINE, and shoot whatever flies onto the screen. Hold space, mash 1–9, dodge what fights back. Read the rest if you want to play deeper.

Start here

• Game modes — every way to launch a session: your own timeline, a single handle, a single post, the daily mix, the monster timeline, multiplayer Blast Battle, and more.
• Blasting tactics — how the kill loop works, what makes a session score high, when to nuke vs. comment vs. like, and how the COIN economy ties into all of it.
• Controls and weapons — every key, every weapon slot, what the inventory is for, and how the share hotkey works.
• Video saving and sharing — the auto-recorder, the kill peek card, full-session downloads, and how to post a clip back to X.
• Creator Zone — make your own Timeline Levels: curate 5–30 posts, publish, and earn 60% of every COIN that other players burn in your level.
• Bookmarks and discovery — the 🔖 Bookmark Gun, your public bookmark page at /p/<handle>/bookmarks, and the 🌀 STUMBLE THE BOOKMARKS discovery launcher.
• Rabbithole Beamer — kill the rare 🎲 dice enemy, roll the die, get warped to a random feed. The curiosity-engine inside the game.
• Memetic Empires — turn-based hex strategy spinoff. Pick a faction, harvest ENERGY from real-world resources, research a tech tree, and use tweet-units to wage memetic war. Reach it from the title-screen options panel.

Two ways to play: kill or study

Most weapons in the hotbar exist to destroy posts — bullets, megaphone, nuke, meme-blaster, etc. But four extra guns sit in your inventory that exist to reveal instead: 📜 Wiki Gun, 💡 Grok Gun, 📖 Etymology Gun, and 🧠 Memetic Gun. Drag any of them onto a hotbar slot when you'd rather understand a post than blow it up.

The Memetic Gun in particular produces a shareable artifact — a 1080×1080 PNG breakdown showing the post's hook + every rhetorical device used — that's perfect for posting back to X to expose how the post worked. Full reference: Controls and weapons → Study weapons.

What is a "blast"?

A blast is one post being destroyed in your game. The post appears as the boss target — a card you can read, with a follower-count health bar, an avatar, and orbiting enemies. You shoot the post until it explodes into pixel debris. Your score (called HITS) is the total damage dealt across the session; the KILLS counter ticks every time a boss-post explodes.

When you blast a real X post, the game records a few seconds of footage on either side of the kill. That clip becomes a shareable artifact — see Video saving and sharing.

Free play vs. coins

You can play the FREE 𝕏 LEVELS (Daily Timeline, Shooting Stars presets like Elon / Trump / TBPN / MTS, Monster Timeline) as many times as you want once you're logged in with X. They draw from a server-cached corpus of recent X posts, so they cost us no live X-API calls and cost you no COINS.

The PREMIUM LEVELS — Blast My Timeline (your own home feed, freshly fetched), Blast a Custom Handle, Blast a Custom Post — pull live from X. Those reads cost real money on our side, so we charge a small COIN amount per session. New players get a starter pack; you can buy more in the Coins Shop.

There are also MORE FREE TIMELINES — Hacker News, arXiv, PubMed, and Mix mode — that aren't X-based at all. They're great for warming up the reflexes between X sessions.

Anti-FAQ — what Timeline Blastar is not

• It's not an X mass-blocker. Nuking a post in-game removes it from your local game-feed only. It does not block, mute, report, or unfollow that handle on X. We never touch your X account except to read the timeline you opted in to and to post the clips you tell us to post.
• It's not a doomscroll trainer. The whole point is the opposite — turning the feed into something you actively shoot at, then walk away from with a video clip and a high score, instead of an hour you can't account for.
• It's not a leaderboard simulator. There's a leaderboard, but the highest-scoring sessions all involve recording a great video clip, not just inflating numbers. The game rewards style.
