Your rocket never stops accelerating. Tap left or right to steer through an endless storm of asteroids, but stay inside the Arena or it's game over. Simple to learn, nearly impossible to master. Every asteroid collision sends you spinning. Every second survived earns you coins. Every run pushes you closer to the edge. FEATURES • Physics-based controls with real momentum and inertia • 7 unlockable rockets, each with unique mass, speed, and handling • 3 map themes with distinct asteroid styles • 6 cosmetic boosters to customize your flame • Game Center leaderboards to compete globally • 20+ achievements to unlock • Daily rewards with a 7-day streak system • No forced ads. Ever. COLLECT & CUSTOMIZE Earn coins every run and spend them in the shop. Each rocket plays differently: lightweight ships turn fast but get knocked around, heavy ones tank through hits but struggle to maneuver. Find the one that fits your style. THE 30-SECOND CHALLENGE Most pilots crash within 30 seconds. The arena gets more dangerous every moment: asteroids spawn faster, hit harder, and grow larger. How long can you last? Free to play. No pay-to-win mechanics. Just you, your rocket, and the asteroids.
