What is this? WOW!

First of all, how did this game transmogrify my iPhone screen into an old cathode tube (CRT) display? Seriously, the art direction here is sublime! WELL DONE, DEVELOPERS! The sound is "rad" too!

But yeah, if you're on the hunt for a "just one more try before bed" game, look no further. This scratches that itch wonderfully!

Love the game, there are some glitches or would be five star.

I’ve been completely addicted to this game. Managed to hit #20 on the global leaderboard in three of the categories. However there are glitches that happen during runs sometimes that freeze the game and don’t record your score. I once lost a high score due to this and was frustrated. Other than that amazing game. The leaderboard and competitive nature of the game make it very fun.
Also, definitely worth paying to remove the ads.

Oddly / Terrifyingly Addictive

The game gives FlappyBird. It also reminds of something that could be in a Black Mirror episode. I like it so far.
