"An addictive endless runner set against a breathtaking nighttime cityscape backdrop" - AppAddict.net
"Acceleroto nailed it again with another awesome game." - Reviewer on AppsMeNow.com

- One-game super powers cheat death, deflect helicopters, and rake in more stars!
- Universal game for your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad!
- Super graphics tweaks to show off your iPad 2, iPhone4S or new iPad!
- Game Center leaderboards and achievements
- See your friends’ high scores on laser billboards while you play
- Score multipliers, bigger jumps and faster acceleration for every buff up!

HINTS!
- To "die by helicopter" it's best to get a ways into the game until you see the helicopters appear lower above buildings or in between buildings.  They're easier to splat yourself on then.
- To jump in the last 0.5m of a building, pick a building with a border on the roof and use that as a rough guide for when to jump.

### 5/5 — Y’all need to update this

*2019-01-18, version 1.3*

### 3/5 — Rush city

*2015-10-29, version 1.3*

I love this game and play it  a lot when I have time to kill but I think they just did an update and now game seems harder than ever.  It was a challenge before but not it seems impossible.  This game randomly seems to reset. If I'm playing and stop for a while when I play next time it's like i am starting over and it's harder than it was

### 5/5 — Pointless Yet Entertaining

*2015-08-01, version 1.3*

This game is pointless but at the same time, it's not. Has a currency system that makes sense, and is worth looking at. Instead of paying actual money, you pay with stars you get by playing. It pays off. It's addictive and is a good time waster.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2015-01-15, version 1.3*

This game is ok. I have a few complaints that are reasonable. When u hit the slow down box I think it gets way to slow and I get really mad because I can't even jump far at all when I get slowed down. Plz fix this ASAP 😕

### 3/5 — 面白いけど

*2014-09-03*

なにが課金でなにが無料かわからない

### 4/5 — Nice Game

*2014-05-16, version 1.3*

I really like the game and especially the fact thy it supports controllers, but the intro sounds like an alien made the game!
