Grab on tight: this tower never ends, and your stretchy little hero is ready to fly! Catch a hand or foot with your finger, pull it toward a yellow orb, and release to latch on. While hanging, stretch another limb the other way and let go to launch yourself like a slingshot. A dotted path shows where you’re headed. One hand is all you need to climb, swing, and fling your way higher. CLIMB YOUR WAY • Scale an endless tower and chase the RECORD line marking your best height. • Score 10 points per meter, collect candy, and chain grips without landing to build your combo. • Bounce off BOING orbs, hurry away from fragile cookies before they crack, and watch out for slippery ice orbs. • Take a breather on a ledge, then spring upward from a bouncy mushroom. CLIMB THE WORLD LEADERBOARDS • Compete with players on iPhone and iPad in two shared rankings: WEEKLY, reset every Monday, and ALL TIME. • Explore the top 50 and its podium. Your row stands out; if you're outside the top, see the players ranked around you. • See your weekly world rank at the end of a run and choose a nickname you can change (3–16 characters). The leaderboards require an internet connection. DODGE, BONK, BOUNCE • Slip past patrolling bees, spinning spike balls, wall spikes, and rotating bars. A limb can take a sting; keep your head and body clear! • Fire a hand or foot fast enough to knock out a bee. BONK! • Pop bubbles for five temporary power-ups: Boxing Gloves, Super Stretch, Super Boxer, Star, and Candy Rain. Knock out bees and spike balls, stretch farther, double your score, or catch a shower of sweets. MAKE YOUR HERO YOURS • Complete progressive challenges, then keep going with endless challenges for extra points. • Save your candy and mix 12 colors, 12 hats, and 9 trails. Try a crown, headphones, bubbles, lightning, and more. • Enjoy bright cartoon art, a squishy hero that flattens and rebounds, original playful music, comic sound effects, and haptic feedback. • Play in a language that suits you: the game is available in 45 languages, across menus, challenges, and the shop. Climb for a few minutes or keep chasing your record. Your run pauses automatically, and you can play offline without an account on iPhone or iPad. Free to play with ads. An optional rewarded video lets you continue a run once or double the candy you earned.
