A spaceship with a flaming thruster flies between neon walls in space, past a gold star and a heart

How to play

Easy to learn, hard to put down.

  1. 1

    Tap to fly

    Every tap gives your ship a lift. Thread it through the gaps without touching the walls, the ceiling or the ground.

    Grab stars and hearts

    Stars add points and count toward unlocks. Hearts give you another life when you crash.

Three ways to fly

Start easy, then see how far you get when the walls start moving.

Easy

Steady

A steady pace, the widest gaps, and walls that stay put. Perfect for learning the rhythm.

Medium

On the move

A little faster and a little tighter. Once you pass 5 points, every third wall starts to slide up and down.

Hard

No mercy

The tightest gaps, moving walls from 10 points, and a speed that keeps climbing the longer you survive.

Stars, hearts and ghost mode

Stars sit in the middle of the gaps. Common bronze ones are worth a point; a rare rainbow star is worth ten. Every star you collect also adds to your lifetime total, which unlocks new themes.

Hearts are rarer still. Hold up to 3 in a run, and when you crash with one, you're placed back in the nearest safe gap with 5 seconds of ghost mode to fly through the walls.

Out of hearts? You can watch a short video to continue once per run.

Built to replay

Everything around the run is there to get you back in the air quickly.

Leaderboards

A separate leaderboard for each mode. Set your player name and avatar and see how you rank against the top 50.

Plays offline

No connection on the train? Play anyway. Your best scores reach the leaderboard the next time you're online.

Pauses for you

Switch apps or take a call and the run pauses. When you resume, a 3-2-1 countdown gets you ready.

No ads mid-flight

Banners only appear on the menu, pause and game over cards. Videos only play when you choose to watch one.

Light on battery

The game only draws when something is moving, so long sessions don't drain your phone.

No sign-up

No account and no email. Open the app and fly. Sound and haptics can be switched off in Settings.

Made for iPhone Duo

A cockpit with two screens

Stand iPhone Duo up like a laptop and the ship flies on the top screen with a big tap pad below. Open it like a book and the ship gets one page while the menus take the other. Customize and the Leaderboard use both pages, and folding or turning the device pauses the run with a 3-2-1 countdown.

And it flies just as well on every other iPhone.
