About

AfterBurn

Two thumbs. One rocket. An endless climb. Afterburn is a neon physics climber built around one simple, brutal skill: flying a real rocket with two thumbs. The left and right sides of your screen each fire a thruster. Hold both to lift straight off the floor; ease off one to tilt and steer. No autopilot, no second chances — just you, gravity, and a tower of landing pads stretching up into a synthwave sky. HOW IT WORKS • Touch the left and right of the screen to fire each thruster independently. • Lift off, climb, and set down gently and upright on the next platform. • A clean landing refuels your tank and pays out points — then the next pad appears higher up. • Burn fuel to fly; land with fuel to spare for a bigger bonus. • Come in too fast, too tilted, or run the tank dry, and your rocket goes up in a shower of debris. EVERY LANDING COUNTS Each pad you reach is worth 1,000 points, plus up to 1,000 more for the fuel still in your tank. The cleaner and more efficient your flight, the higher your score. The climb never ends — how far up can you get before one bad touchdown ends the run? CLIMB YOUR CITY UP THE RANKS Every run is automatically posted to a five-tier leaderboard — your city, region, country, continent, and the whole world. See exactly where you stand locally and globally, search any city to scope out the competition, and fight to put your hometown on top. FEATURES • Pure two-thumb, differential-thrust controls — easy to grasp, hard to master • Real SpriteKit physics: momentum, tilt, bounce, and tumbling debris • An endless vertical climb with pads that shrink as the stakes rise • Worldwide-to-city geo leaderboards • A hand-tuned synthwave look: neon grids, a chrome sun, a glowing HUD • Fuel management, satisfying landings, and explosive failure • No ads. No in-app purchases. Just the climb. Fire up. Climb high. Land clean. Afterburn.
