Stranded on an unknown moon, an astronaut has only one goal: getting home. Run, jump and collect shards to build your rocket… and find out what awaits you there. A STORY WITHOUT WORDS On first launch, a short pixel art animation tells the story of the crash. The rest unlocks as you play, all the way to building your own colony. 5 WORLDS TO CROSS Moon, abandoned colony, neon city, scorching dunes, forest under the northern lights: every 1000 meters the scenery and obstacles change, and the run speeds up. AN ASTRONAUT THAT EVOLVES Double and triple jump, glider, dive, magnet, head-start boosts: every module you buy at the workshop shows on your suit. NEW CHALLENGES EVERY DAY Three rotating missions, a daily chest and the Daily Run: the same course for everyone, a new one every day. GLOBAL RANKING Compare your best run with other pilots and aim for the podium. ONE-HANDED Tap to jump, hold to go higher. Easy to pick up, hard to master. NO FORCED ADS No ad ever plays without your say: only when you choose to revive or open a bonus chest. Paid suits are purely cosmetic. Plays offline. Available in English, French and Chinese.
