A single ball. An infinite sky. Launch upward into the unknown — bouncing from platform to platform, climbing ever higher through the cosmos. As you ascend, the journey grows treacherous. Platforms drift, narrow, tilt, and pulse. Gravity is unforgiving. Every launch is a leap of faith. Three difficulty orbits. Global leaderboards via Game Center. How far into the universe can you reach? This is a free game, enjoy!
