## What is Drift By?

Your rocket flies on its own. You don't steer it – you bend the space it flies through.

Put a finger on the screen and time stands still. Drop a black hole, let go, and gravity takes over: your rocket swings around it, past walls, lasers and whatever else is hanging around up there. The same hole that saves you also pays your bills – everything it swallows turns into points.

WHAT'S WAITING UP THERE
• An endless climb: from morning sky through the stratosphere into orbit – and past that, things get strange.
• Asteroid fields with shapes: diamonds, waves, arcs, spirals. One well-placed hole harvests the whole field at once.
• Combos up to ×10, checkpoint bonuses every two kilometres – and a balance that keeps whispering about a new ship.
• A hangar full of ships with their own abilities: warp portals, nova shockwave, shield, escort wing and more.
• Boost and brake, for players who like to pick their own pace.
• Game Center leaderboard: your best altitude against the rest of the world.

BUILT FAIR
Drift By is completely free. There are no in-app purchases – every ship is unlocked with points you earn by playing. You only ever see an ad if you ask for one: an optional video to continue a run or refill your lives. No account, no sign-up, plays offline.

A run takes a few minutes. So does the next one. And probably the one after that.
