Buy an upgrade in the shop to increase its range and duration! ► Watering Can: Grow to an enormous size, stop falling in holes and collect more items! ► Rocket: Skip a huge part of the map and get lots of points! Buy an upgrade in the shop to get coins and even more points! ► Nitro: Increase your speed for a short amount of time and get points! Buy an upgrade in the shop to increase speed, duration and score! --- Floortiles --- ► Blue - Trampoline Floortile: Lets the cube jump! ► Red - Breaking Floortile: If this Floortile has cracks on it, it will break on contact. If you like the app, it'd be awesome if you could show it to a friend! :)
