Tap to leap from planet to planet, time each jump so you land perfectly, and keep going until the darkness catches you. Every perfect landing builds a streak, every streak lifts the score, and every run reaches a little higher than the one before. The sky is never the same twice. Skirt the pull of a black hole, cross the glare of a dying sun, ride out a comet storm, and find what waits inside the fog. New events unlock as you climb, and each one changes how you play. WHAT YOU'LL FIND - One-tap controls that take a minute to learn and a long time to master - Handmade worlds and events, each with its own hazards and rhythm - Perfect-landing streaks that reward timing over reflexes - Shields and guides to bank for the run that matters - A hangar of skins to collect and ride - Full haptic feedback EMBER is free to play. Optional shard packs and a one-time remove-ads purchase are available.
