## What is ThreadMan?

WEB-SWING, DODGE, RESCUE AND RUN IN A RETRO PIXEL ARCADE CITY!

Become a spider-style swing hero: shoot your web-thread at the skyscraper walls, swing through falling debris, runaway drones and giant bosses, sprint down the neon street and save the trapped pets of PetsCity. One finger, short runs, big "how did I survive that?!" moments.

ONE TAP TO SWING
Tap the left or right wall to anchor your thread and swing. Tap high to vault into the sky, or tap low to slingshot along the street. Easy to learn and hard to master.

THREE MODES + A DAILY CHALLENGE
• CITY RUN: Endless dodging. The sky shifts from sunset to midnight as your speed climbs through 13 levels.
• DOOR RESCUE: Break into sealed rooms, dodge moving traps and free a caged pet before the timer runs out. You get one life, and every door you clear saves a checkpoint.
• STREET RUN: The street scrolls by and never stops. Tap to jump over benches and brick stacks, stay low under crane beams and drones, grab tokens and chase your best distance as the run speeds up.
• DAILY CHALLENGE: The same run for everyone, one shot per day. Keep your day streak alive and climb the daily leaderboard.

BOSS BATTLES
Six pixel bosses crash the skyline when the WARNING siren sounds: Sky Raider Glider, Ironhorn Crusher, Stormcore Overlord, Void Titan, Kraken Engineer and Inklash Symbiont. Slam them with your thread to take them down for big points and Gold Web Tokens.

GRAZE COMBOS AND POWER-UPS
• Skim past hazards to trigger slow-mo and build combos up to 10X.
• Grab power-ups like Nano-Mesh Forcefield, Reflex Focus slow-mo, Hyper Star Warp and Chrono Web Stasis.
• Race across 5 city themes: Blazing Ruins, Neon Tokyo, Frozen City, Sunset Mesa and Ghost Town, with rain, fog and storms.

10 HERO SUITS, EACH WITH ITS OWN PHYSICS
Unlock suits from Thread Classic to Cosmic Captain by reaching score targets, or spend your tokens to get a regular suit early. Each one swings differently and has its own ability, from Fast Burst to Zero-G Flight.

RESCUE PETS FOR YOUR SANCTUARY
Save cats, pups, rabbits and rare companions all the way up to an Ancient T-Rex, then visit them in your Pet Sanctuary.

LEADERBOARDS, MISSIONS AND DAILY GOALS
• Compete on the TODAY, WEEK and ALL-TIME leaderboards for City Run and Street Run, plus the DAILY CHALLENGE board.
• Three fresh daily missions every day, each paying out tokens, plus city missions and achievements in every mode.
• Share your score after a run, and turn on an optional evening reminder for the Daily Challenge.

FEATURES
• Hand-crafted pixel art with a retro CRT glow (switch it off any time)
• 8-bit chiptune soundtrack and arcade sound effects
• Haptic feedback for shield blocks, combos, pet rescues and boss kills
• Reduce Effects option: no screen shake, flashes or lightning
• Back up your progress with a code and restore it on any device, no account needed
• Fully playable in English and Vietnamese, in-game text included
• Play offline (leaderboards and purchases need a connection)
• No ads

SUPER HERO PASS
An optional one-time purchase, with no subscription. It unlocks all 10 hero suits right away, premium suits included. Restore Purchases is supported.
