SMASH A COSMIC PIÑATA IN ZERO-G! A hazardous piñata floats in deep space. Your mission: smash it with your rocket to make the route safe for passing craft—then sweep up the candy before it drifts into the void! SNAG CANDY BEFORE IT’S GONE The burst showers sweets into mid-air. Zip, tilt, and scoop everything from gummy worms to gourmet truffles—before it all floats off! 10 LEVELS, RISING CANDY CHAOS Choose a Donkey Piñata or Star Piñata and climb through 10 levels with faster bursts, trickier obstacles, and a different space vehicle to protect each time—from a Space Tacos food truck to a Laser Cleaning Service truck. Along the way, outsmart a candy-snatching UFO, dodge asteroids, and steer clear of a comet that instantly vaporizes sweets. SAVOR THE WIN Watch your captured candy float in zero-G inside your rocket, then grab an amusement-park-style “photo” of the burst to share your score. HOLIDAY PARTIES YEAR-ROUND (Optional In-App Purchases) Each holiday brings its own candy and flair—think fun-size Meteor Munch at Halloween and foil-wrapped chocolate Santas at Christmas—plus themed music, UFO chatter, vehicles, and piñata colors. CUSTOMIZE YOUR ROCKET (Optional In-App Purchase) Visit the Rocket Body Shop to recolor rocket parts and fly in your own style.
