About

Cinderspire

Features
Read full description

Cinderspire is an arcade collection built around one campaign: four worlds, 27 mini-games and one shared coin economy that ties every run together. Earn coins in any mode. Climb the campaign. Come back tomorrow for your daily reward. Every mode is a stage in the same adventure. Built for the daily commuter, the airplane flyer, the no-wifi player. Small download, quick to launch, every mode playable offline. THE CAMPAIGN Four worlds, 53 stages: Arena Conquest (16), Mind Vault (15), Reflex Rush (14) and Tycoon Valley (8). Each stage sets a coin target in one of the games. Reach it to clear the stage, beat it by a wide margin for up to three stars, and collect a coin bonus. Clear enough stages to open the next world. All 27 games are also open from the start, so you can play a favorite on its own and add its coins to your total. THE ECONOMY One wallet. One coin. Earned anywhere, counted everywhere. Your balance and your 15 trophies carry across every mode. Some games also use their own in-run cash or crystals for upgrades during a run. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • No ads: nothing interrupts a run, and the Double Bonus on the daily reward comes without an ad • Plays offline - no wifi, no internet, no problem • Daily rewards - a 7-day streak from 100 to 7,500 coins; claim every day to keep it going • 53-stage campaign - the connective thread across every mode • Cross-mode progression - coins and trophies earned anywhere count everywhere • Every game, stage and reward is available without paying • No account, no login, no data collection • Leave any game at any moment: "Back to Arcade" is in every game's settings • Small download, quick to launch, supports iOS 15 and later on iPhone and iPad • Hub, campaign and daily reward labels in 7 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Turkish and Arabic), following your device language; everything else, including the games themselves and the settings panel, is in English ARCADE MODES INSIDE THE CAMPAIGN Puzzle & merge stages, arena stages against computer rivals, reflex & timing stages, idle & tycoon stages, ASMR cleaning, rhythm and word stages, and three 3D runners: Space Runner, Meteor Rush and Sky Glide.
