Tap to jump. Hold to jump a little higher. That's the whole control scheme, and every gap is built so a plain tap clears it. An endless runner made only for Apple Watch. Your runner goes on its own; you pick the moment to leave the ground. How far can you go? HOW TO PLAY - The jump fires the moment you touch the screen, and a press just after an edge or just before landing still counts. - Some jumps cross an arc of three stars. Some arcs suit a quick tap, others a held jump. Catch all three for a PERFECT. - PERFECTs build a combo that raises your score multiplier, up to ×3. Miss a star and the combo halves instead of resetting. - Big and gold stars are worth more, and each kind of star has its own shape. - From zone 2, a magnet pulls in nearby ground stars and reveals a trail of bonus stars above you. - From zone 3, jump clear of spike strips. WHY YOU COME BACK - The pace picks up the further you run, and the sky changes zone by zone: Day, Sunset, Night and, deep into a run, Aurora. - The Daily Run plays a course set by today's date, the same all day on your watch. Play it each day to build a streak. - After every run, a card shows your score, a NEW BEST or how close you came, and one goal for next time. - Add the complication to your watch face to see your best score (and streak, where there's room). Tap it to play. MADE FOR THE WRIST Lower your wrist or leave the app and the run pauses exactly where it was, then counts you back in with 3-2-1. Haptics are saved for moments that matter, like a PERFECT or a new best. Reduce Motion is respected, and VoiceOver labels cover the menu, help, pause and result screens. - A standalone Apple Watch app. Requires watchOS 26 or later. - No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no tracking. Works offline.
