## What is Jack?

The only way out is up.

Guide Jack through haunted forests, ruined chapels, stormy towers, and moonlit heights in a premium vertical arcade adventure.

HOLD TO STEER. LAND TO BOUNCE.
Jack jumps automatically. Hold the left or right side of the screen to steer, then release to brake. Choose your landing, collect candy, and build your score streak. Start with three hearts; rare heart pickups restore a missing heart, up to three.

STOMP, DODGE, AND CALL ON PIP
Stomp monsters from above and avoid their dangerous sides. Collect Pip the Wisp for a temporary companion who trails behind Jack and fires magical embers. Pip needs more hits as the realms get harder; bosses are yours to handle. Ghosts cannot be stomped, but Shield, Night Zap, or Pip can banish them.

SEVEN GUARDIANS. AN ENDLESS ASCENT.
Face Branble Stump, Broodmother, Moss Muncher, Gargoyle, Bell Warden, Moon Mimic, and Eclipse Reaper. Watch each guardian's health and attack cue, then land clean stomps during its opening. After the first ten realms, keep climbing through the endless Nightmare ascent.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF HAUNTING
Fifteen illustrated visual themes pair atmospheric backgrounds with themed platforms and featured monsters. Moving platforms, crumbling ledges, pumpkin springs, and narrower jumps vary the climb. Collect shields, Night Zap, Flame, Bat Wings, Time Freeze, and Pip. Beware poison candy: it cancels active powers and temporarily weakens Jack. Losing a heart also removes active powers.

TAKE ON THE CLIMB
Take on one arcade challenge with guarded landings that demand clean stomps and airborne enemies that test your steering. Adjust music, sound effects, and haptics independently. Settings and How to Play are available from the title screen and pause menu.

CHASE YOUR BEST
Complete rotating run objectives and save personal records. Game Center sharing is optional and off by default. Enable it to share new scores and achievements with Apple and show your score and Game Center name/profile to other players. Stop future uploads in Settings. Core gameplay works offline and requires no account.

One purchase. No advertising, tracking, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.

Contains stylized, non-graphic fantasy combat and spooky Halloween characters.
