## What is ThreadMan?

SWING. DODGE. RESCUE. RULE THE NEON SKYLINE!

Falling debris, runaway drones and giant bosses are tearing through PetsCity, and the city's pets are trapped in the chaos. Fire your thread at the skyscraper walls, swing between hazards and pull off last-second escapes in this fast one-touch pixel arcade game.

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.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY
• 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.

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 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.

10 HERO SUITS, EACH WITH ITS OWN PHYSICS
Unlock suits from Thread Classic to Cosmic Captain. Each one swings differently, 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 AND MISSIONS
Compete on the TODAY and ALL-TIME leaderboards, complete city missions and earn achievements.
