This sounds like every terrible mobile game I’ve ever played. Are gachas similar to tap tap games on mobile?

Now I have never heard the term tap tap game, so I might be thinking about different typs of games, but I think of those where you for example run forward and tap/swipe to dodging obstacles and when you fail you are prompted to buy powered ups/extra lives to continue and you buy tickets to get skins.

Aren’t those buy power ups and know what you get and lottery for cosmetics? Making it loot boxes and microtransactions.

Or am I misunderstanding what typ of games you mean? Perfectly possible as I haven’t heard the term, and I don’t play those games for long enough or often enough to remember any names.
