How long can you hold on? Joe only wanted to repair a power line… Instead, he’s racing down a mountainside at full speed, hanging from a cable with danger around every corner. Joe Cable: Endless Runner is a fast-paced arcade game where every second counts. Dodge birds, branches, power poles, broken cables, and countless other obstacles as you race downhill, switch between power lines, and see how far you can go before one mistake brings your run to an end. The farther you survive, the faster the action becomes. Every near miss feels incredible, every new distance record feels earned, and every crash leaves you convinced your next run will be even better. ► HOLD ON TIGHT JOE Every run begins with a smooth ride, but it doesn’t stay that way for long. The mountain gets faster, the danger gets bigger, and every obstacle pushes your reactions a little harder. Before long, you’ll be completely locked in, trying to protect a run you’ve worked hard to build. Out here, luck won’t save you. Every great score comes from quick reactions, smart decisions, and holding your nerve when the pressure starts to build. Stay alive just a little longer and you might set a new personal best. ► SURVIVE THE DANGER The mountain has other plans. Birds dive across your path. Tree branches seem determined to knock you off the cable. Power poles, broken lines, and unexpected hazards appear with barely enough time to react. Every near miss gets your heart racing, and every second you survive feels like a victory. The longer you hold on, the more dangerous every run becomes. ► MASTER THE CABLES One cable won’t get you very far. Jump between power lines, weave around danger, and choose the safest route before it’s too late. Every successful move keeps your run alive and gives you another chance to beat your best distance. The controls are easy to learn, but mastering the mountain is another story. ► CLIMB THE LEADERBOARDS Great runs deserve bragging rights. Track your highest score, unlock achievements, and compete with players around the world. Challenge your friends, defend your position, and keep pushing until your name reaches the top of the leaderboard. No matter how far you make it, there’s always another record worth chasing. ► JUST ONE MORE RUN Joe Cable is perfect for a quick break, but don’t be surprised when one run turns into ten. Miss your best distance by a few meters and you’ll want another attempt immediately. Beat your personal record and you’ll start wondering how much farther you can go next time. Every run leaves you feeling like your next great score is only one more try away. That’s what makes it so hard to put down. ► MADE FOR FANS OF ENDLESS RUNNERS If you enjoy endless runners, arcade games, survival games, obstacle courses, reflex challenges, or casual games that reward skill over luck, you’ll feel right at home. Joe Cable delivers a fresh twist on the endless runner genre by combining fast-paced action, high-speed survival, and addictive high-score chasing with a unique setting unlike anything else. Every run is different, every mistake teaches you something, and every new record feels worth celebrating. ► A UNIQUE RIDE DOWN THE MOUNTAIN Most endless runners keep your feet on the ground. Joe Cable sends you hurtling down power lines with nothing but quick reactions keeping you out of trouble. Inspired by classic arcade games and built around fast gameplay, smooth controls, satisfying animations, and endless replayability, it’s a fresh challenge that’s easy to pick up and always tempting you back for one more run. ► JOIN THE COMMUNITY Stay up to date on Joe Cable and other games.

Read full description

Twist around a circle to shoot the craft as they fly out at you. A fast-paced arcade shoot-em-up with trippy graphics and single finger control. Automatic fire allows you to focus on sliding your finger around the dial so that your ship will match the direction. If the shooting stops, you must dodge the incoming objects. Unusually for this type of game, you will move onto the next level with a new life. This avoids you getting stuck on one particular level that you have trouble with. New restart levels are unlocked after every 20 levels until 201, so that get straight to where your challenge is. You can choose a lower start level for new players. You will not see the option until level 21 or higher is unlocked.
