## What is Top Run?

One jet. Endless space. How far can you fly?

Top Run is a fast, top-down space arcade game with a retro look and an original 8-bit soundtrack. Steer left and right through meteors, missiles, rockets, and kamikaze alien ships as the pace builds.

EVOLVE YOUR JET
Complete each sector to launch into a boost sequence and transform your aircraft. Earn permanent cosmetic jets through distance milestones, shield collection, flight milestones, and cumulative close-call challenges. Explore the Hangar, follow your next unlock, and discover a mystery aircraft.

MAKE IT YOURS
Choose your jet, trail, and explosion independently. Golddigger brings a metallic gold aircraft, a long gold wake, and a gold crash effect. Bubble Trail adds iridescent bubbles behind any jet. Confetti Explosion fills a crash with colorful ribbons and stars. Preview the cosmetics in the Hangar, then equip your favorites. Included Default options keep your aircraft's original effects.

CATCH ANOTHER CHANCE
Start with one life. Catch a shield on odd-numbered sectors to block one impact, or an extra life on even-numbered sectors. A spare life lets you continue after a hit with three seconds of recovery protection.

EARN YOUR RANK
Climb from Bronze toward Overlord and its Roman-numeral promotions. Your career-best rank stays on display, with your next target in view. Distance is the score: chase your personal-best marker and see how far you can go.

SHARE ONLY IF YOU CHOOSE
Play offline and keep your records on your device. Worldwide score sharing is optional. After you allow it, future completed online flights submit automatically under your pilot nickname. Your choice is remembered and can be changed in Settings. Browse the worldwide top 50 without enabling score sharing.

PLAY YOUR WAY
Hold the left or right controls, or drag across the playfield, to steer. Pause when you need a break and return with a 3-2-1 countdown. Adjust music and sound effects separately.

Core gameplay works offline. Worldwide scores require internet. No game account or ads. Golddigger, Bubble Trail, and Confetti Explosion are separate optional one-time cosmetic in-app purchases. They provide no gameplay advantage and keep the same handling and hitbox. Purchases and Restore Purchases use the App Store.
