Tap to hop. Hold to climb. Let go and gravity takes over. That is the whole game - and it is harder than it sounds. Every day, TUNL builds one cave from the date. Everyone on Earth flies that exact same cave, then it is gone forever and a new one takes its place. Your best run of the day flies beside you as a ghost. Chase it. Beat it. The corridor gets tighter the deeper you go. Grab coins to widen it and power-ups to survive: shield, magnet, slow-time, bombs and a laser that burns through crystal. Skim the rock without touching it and you bank a near-miss bonus. Crash, and you see your place on today's world leaderboard before the screen settles. Go deep and the cave stops holding still - it morphs, breathes and throws boulders and falling crystals into your path while the speed keeps climbing. Fill the star meter and your ship becomes a star for a few seconds, shattering everything it hits. Watch for the drain coin: it steals score straight off your run. New pilots get a short practice flight over the city and a circle that shows when to tap. After that it is just a cave, a ship, and one more run. No timers begging you to come back. - One daily cave, identical for every player on Earth - A ghost of your best run to race - Live world leaderboard the moment you crash - Achievements to chase - Power-ups and hazards drawn as what they do - Eight ships to unlock, each flying a little differently - One-hand, one-button controls - 16 languages Free to play, with optional Remove Ads and Unlock All Ships purchases.
