Temple Tap

Your stickman auto-shoots — hold to jump between platforms, tap weapon pickups on the ground to swap loadouts and survive endless temple waves.

Core mechanic

Auto-fire 2D platformer where you only manage jump timing and weapon swaps; survive as long as you can.

Controls

Hold to charge jump, release to leap; tap a weapon on the ground to pick it up (one-thumb).

Theme

Ancient-temple gunplay from Temple of Boom, narrowed to jump + swap.

Why now

Temple of Boom has 2.85M votes on Poki — the 2-player action-platformer is still a daily driver for web players.

Hook
5/10

Temple/boom has proven crave (Temple of Boom still active on Poki), but Auto Hero: AutoFire platformer already owns the exact 'auto-shooting 2D platformer' hook on iOS — weapon-swap layer is a marginal twist, not a fresh hook.Temple of Boom still live as a trending run-and-gun on PokiDirect competitor shipping the same auto-fire 2D platformer hookPoki top-10 list confirms temple/stick-action genre maturity

Virality
6/10

Stickman + one-thumb action is inherently short-clip shareable and the temple/boom trend is a documented Poki driver; nothing here is uniquely viral but nothing kills shareability either.Temple of Boom's 2.85M Poki votes show the theme pulls repeatable engagementCrazyGames stickman category ranks stickman shooters as enduring web hits

Simplicity
7/10

Auto-fire removes aim; hold-to-jump + tap-to-pickup is genuinely one-thumb and trivially prototypeable in a week — the fewest inputs of any temple survival concept.Auto Hero: AutoFire proves the mechanical pattern ships as a small, focused build

Monetization
7/10

Endless wave survival + short sessions is a textbook rewarded-video (revive, double pickups) play-loop that hypercasual/hybrid-casual monetize well; proven by endless-runner ad leaders.Hybrid rewarded-ads + IAP is the current standard for endless action runners

Whitespace
2/10

Auto Hero: AutoFire platformer is a near-identical shipped competitor and the temple/stick-shooter space on Poki is crowded (Temple of Boom, Stickman series, Run-and-gun variants); weapon-swap-on-ground is too thin a differentiator to claim white space.Already-released app with the same auto-fire + side-scrolling + weapon pickups premisePoki's stickman category shows heavy saturation of 2D run-and-gun/shooter titles
