Tap to hop. That's it — and that's everything. Tap Sprout is a one-thumb arcade climber about a tiny critter scaling an endless beanstalk. Each tap hops you to the next branch. Sounds easy… until branches start cracking under your feet, bees patrol your landing spots, hawks sweep across the sky, and the flood rises from below. One mistimed tap and down you go — but you'll be climbing again two seconds later. HOW TO PLAY • Tap to hop to the next branch • Time your hops past patrolling bees — one touch is fatal • Duck under hawks sweeping across the vine • Cracking branches snap moments after you land, so keep moving • The flood never stops rising — hesitate and you're swimming • Grab coins on the way up (gold ones are worth 5!) CLIMB THROUGH THE SKY Start in the garden, rise past the treetops, break through the clouds, and climb all the way to the stars. The higher you go, the faster and meaner it gets. Even 20m is a badge of honor. 30 CRITTERS, EACH WITH ITS OWN ABILITY Spend your coins on a roster of hand-drawn friends — a ladybug, a bumblebee, a snail, a frog, a fox, a tiny dragon, and more. Ten more skins unlock automatically as your best height climbs, every 50m, all the way to a dazzling rainbow Unicorn at 500m. Every critter has a real passive ability — Lucky Coins, Soft Landing, Flood Resistance, Glide, Guardian Shield, even Flight — tap any critter to see what it does. KEEP COMING BACK • Daily missions with coin rewards • A daily gift box • Game Center leaderboards — race your friends to the top • Your best height is always waiting to be beaten • A Sprout Coins shop if you want to top up your stash QUICK BY DESIGN • Runs last seconds — perfect for a quick break • No account, works offline, free to play • Music, sound effects, and optional rewarded ads to double your coins Every critter and every vine in Tap Sprout is an original creation. Now hop to it.
