Detect.ly: The Ultimate Neon Descent Drop in. Match the shape. Break the glass. Survive the fall. Detect.ly is an adrenaline-pumping survival game that tests your reflexes at terminal velocity. You are plummeting down a neon-lit tunnel, and the only way to survive is to shapeshift. Match your avatar to the approaching glass floors to smash through—pick the wrong shape or hesitate for a millisecond, and you go SPLAT. Can you handle the speed? THE DAILY DROP (NEW EVERY 24 HOURS) Endless runners get boring. Detect.ly doesn't. Every single day at midnight, the global Daily Drop unlocks. A New Track: Every 24 hours, a brand new, heavy synth-wave remix of a legendary classical track drops. From the frantic speed of "Flight of the Bumblebee" to the heavy, menacing bass of "Queen Mary’s Funeral," the audio dictates your descent. A Shared Seed: Every player on Earth gets the exact same tunnel, the exact same speed, and the exact same sequence of shapes. One Shot: You only get one try at the Daily Drop. If you Splat, you’re done until tomorrow. HIGH-SPEED SURVIVAL Terminal Velocity: The further you fall, the faster the tunnel gets. Push your reaction time to the absolute limit. GET POSTED EVERY DAY The leaderboards are wiped completely clean every 24 hours. You don't have to compete with players who have been grinding for months. Every day is a fresh start, and the top survivors of the Daily Drop have a chance to get shouted out and featured on our official pages. Bragging rights are earned daily. SHARE YOUR SPLAT Don't just tell your friends you beat them—show them. When your run ends, seamlessly copy a spoiler-free visual map of your descent to TikTok, Instagram, or iMessage. Let the world see exactly how deep you made it before the tunnel claimed you. Do you have what it takes to reach the stratosphere? Download Detect.ly and take the Drop.
