This is a very simple game: use your fingers to move forward on the screen. Push to move, hold your finger and slide it forward to slow down. There are three game modes, try them all (select on the start screen). It's cold outside, a snow storm is catching up with you. The faster you go - the less chance you have to freeze. If you collect some coins - you can warm up by drinking a hot drink where it is sold. You can choose the number of frames per second on the main screen (if the game does not work very well on your device - choose 30 FPS).

Blocks slide across the screen and you tap to place them. Any overhang gets sliced off, making the next block smaller. Land perfectly to keep your tower wide and your score climbing. PRECISION STACKING Tap at just the right moment to place each block. Perfect placements keep your tower full width. Chain together perfect placements to build combos that recover lost width and boost your score. DAILY CHALLENGES A new challenge drops every day with unique platform widths and speed curves.
