About

Drop

Features
Read full description

Drop is a simple, endless reflex game. A red ball falls, wooden floors scroll up past it, and each floor has one gap. Tilt your iPhone or iPad to steer the ball into the gap before the floor pushes it off the top of the screen. It starts slow and gets faster the longer you last. Reach a gap in a single clean drop, with no wall hits and no extra bounces, and it counts as a clean pass. String three clean passes together and a streak bonus kicks in, adding more points on every clean pass after that. Hit a wall or bounce twice and the streak resets. New to it? A quick tutorial shows you how to tilt before your first run. Sensitivity is in Settings if the ball feels too quick. Prefer something calmer? Zen mode starts at a speed you pick and only speeds up very gently, with its own best score. Features: - Tilt to steer, one-handed and simple, on iPhone and iPad - Two modes: ranked play that speeds up, and relaxing Zen mode - Clean-pass streak bonus for big scores - The ball transforms as you climb: basketball at 100, baseball at 500, soccer ball at 1000 and more. Every ball you reach stays unlocked to pick - Deeper runs mix in narrow, double and sliding gaps - A best drop line shows how far you got last time - Game Center leaderboard, optional, plays fine without signing in - Haptics and a wood-knock bounce sound that follow how hard you land - Adjustable sensitivity and bounciness - Works offline - Free, no ads, no tracking. Optional tips in Settings unlock nothing Made by one person. If you hit a bug or have an idea, there are support links on the Drop website.
