Falling Planets
Read full descriptionHide full description
You are a falling planet – how deep can you go? Tilt your device and land from bar to bar. The camera keeps speeding up, and every run brings new surprises. SIX PLANETS TO UNLOCK Every planet has its own ability: Saturn's ring saves you once, Jupiter falls faster and smashes bars, the Moon survives long falls, Mercury attracts coins, Mars braves the rainstorm and Neptune the snowstorm. HELPERS ALONG THE WAY Rocket, magnet and star work instantly. A parachute catches you when you fall too deep – and once in a while you find a rare heart that saves you once from anything. SECTIONS AND WEATHER Narrow bars, fragile ground, long drops and a field full of black holes alternate with calm stretches. Fog, rain and snow make every run different. COINS The deeper you fall, the more each coin is worth. Spend them in the shop to unlock new planets. THREE KINDS OF BARS Brown is safe, blue is slippery, red breaks after a moment. Compare your best run in Game Center and earn achievements. No ads, no in-app purchases.

Grab the oars and row your little boat down a lively river. Rowboats is a simple, satisfying arcade game you can pick up in seconds. Swipe down on the left side of the screen to pull the left oar and on the right side to pull the right oar. Pull both together to glide straight ahead, or alternate to weave between obstacles. DODGE THE RIVER Rocks, drifting logs and floating barrels stand between you and a high score. The river speeds up the further you go, so stay sharp. CATCH STARS Scoop up golden stars with your boat or your oars. Every star you catch is worth more than the last, up to 1,000 points, but let one drift past and its value drops. ONE MORE RUN Runs are quick and restarts are instant. Your best score is saved, so there is always a new record to chase. FEATURES • Simple swipe controls that feel great on any iPhone • A hand-crafted 3D river with clear water, lily pads and sparkling sunlight • An original rowing soundtrack and relaxing river sounds • Quick, replayable runs with a saved best score • No account, no ads, no in-app purchases and no data collection
