Drop blocks from a swinging crane and build the tallest tower in the world — from the dusk city skyline, past the clouds, all the way to space. HOW HIGH CAN YOU GO? • One tap to drop — land dead-center for PERFECT combos • 5 perfect drops in a row ignites FEVER — triple points until you miss • Real physics: every block tilts, slides and wobbles FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • EASY — straight drops, pure aim • NORMAL — blocks keep the crane's momentum (×1.5 score) • HARD — momentum plus wind gusts (×2 score) • DAILY — one fixed challenge per day, the same wind for every player on Earth A LIVING SKY Eagles glide past your tower, jets cross the sunset, and near the edge of space a curious UFO comes to inspect your work. The sky fades from dusk to stars as you climb. COMPETE GLOBALLY Pick a nickname and race for the top of the worldwide leaderboard in every mode — plus a fresh daily board. MAKE IT YOURS Unlock block skins (Neon, Midnight, Gold), new cranes (UFO tractor beam, hot-air balloon) and skies (Night, Snow). SECOND CHANCES Revive your tower, re-drop a block you misplaced, straighten a leaning stack or slow the crane down when it really matters. Free to play. One thumb. Infinitely tall.
