## What is FRAYED?

Hold to swing. Let go to fly.

Swing through the dark with a little lantern on a thread of silk. Hold anywhere to catch the rock. The silk wears thin with every swing, so let go just before it snaps for a burst of speed, then catch the rock again before you fall. Every flight you catch without a snap adds to your chain.

There are five worlds: The Fray, Rootwild, Windreach, Emberdeep and Moonveil. Each has its own rock and music, and its own way to carry you further: crystal springs, flowers, wind lanes, glowing vents and moon wells. From Rootwild on, something drifts through the dark. Touch it and your run is over, and if it crosses your silk, the silk burns through unless you let go in time. Reach 1,000m in one run to open the next world.

It all plays with one thumb, and every run is a fresh cave. Each world remembers your best distance and your longest chain, and the whole game works offline, with no energy bars or timers.

FRAYED has banner ads and an occasional full-screen ad between runs. If you'd rather play without them, the Supporter Pack removes all ads with a one-time purchase.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.4 — 2026-10-19

Bug fixes and stability improvements, plus some under-the-hood work on sound.

### 1.3.3 — 2026-10-18

Chains are here. Catch flight after flight without your silk snapping and watch your chain grow. Each world remembers your longest one, right next to your best distance.

Rising air has a new look in four worlds: crystal slivers in The Fray, gusts and drifting seeds in Windreach, heat and embers in Emberdeep, and silver mist in Moonveil. Windreach and Moonveil also have new rock to swing from, and the hanging crystals are gone from The Fray.

Catches sound clearer through a phone speaker, letting go at the last moment has its own whoosh, and once a chain gets going, a soft harp climbs with every catch. The game also runs more smoothly, at up to 120 Hz on iPhones with ProMotion.

There's now an occasional full-screen ad between runs as well as the banner. The Supporter Pack removes both with one purchase.

### 1.3.2 — 2026-10-15

Silk no longer breaks when it passes through the obstacle. Instead it weakens.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-14

Fixed issues in Windreach and Moonveil where the platforms can spawn further apart making it impossible to continue

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-13

Every world now has a crossing only a leap can clear and a hazard that drifts through your swing and cuts the silk it crosses. The view holds steady through a run. Caves vary more from run to run, with new lessons and strike sounds.
