AURA FLIP — How much aura do you have? Hold to charge, let go inside the band, and land the bottle. Every clean landing earns aura, streaks multiply it, and the global leaderboard shows exactly where you stand. MODES • Solo: flip, streak, level up and unlock new bottles for free as you go. • Daily challenge: a fresh goal every day for bonus aura. • Arena: one shared attempt a day. Everyone gets the same three flips — the top three win bonus aura at midnight UTC. • 1v1 Duel: five flips each, head to head, against a friend or a random opponent. • Royale: three or four players at one table, five rounds taken in turns, and you watch every flip. BOTTLES & ARENAS • Earn Silver, Gold, Emerald and Diamond bottles free by leveling up. • Optional shop bottles: Dragon, Lava, Galaxy, Neon, Ice, Shadow and North Pole. • Optional arenas: Volcano, Deep Space, Neon City, Deep Ocean, Sunset and North Pole. • Everything in the shop is cosmetic. Nothing gives an advantage. FRIENDS • Add friends, see who is online and challenge them to a duel. • Achievements and a daily streak that rewards coming back. ACCOUNTS • Sign up with just a username and password — no email needed. Add a recovery email later from your profile if you like. • Available in 12 languages. FAIR PLAY The same physics runs on your phone and on our servers, so every score on the board is a real flip.
