Hold to pull inward. Release to drift. That's all it takes to play Skein, and it takes a lot more to master it. Guide a glowing thread through a winding corridor of neon motifs. The path narrows, curves and pinches as you go, red voids drift into your way, and golden Sparks tempt you toward the edge. One finger, one simple rule, endless runs. ONE TAP, PURE SKILL • Touch and hold anywhere to pull the thread in; let go to drift out. • Runs last a minute or two: perfect for a coffee break or a bus ride. • No luck and no pay-to-win: every point is earned by your timing. SCORE BIG • Thread close to the walls for near-miss bonuses. • Chain checkpoints into combos and collect Sparks. • Beat your personal best and climb the Game Center leaderboard. • Earn 8 achievements, from your first 50 points to an Endless Skein. PLAY YOUR WAY • Full-screen dark playfield made for one-handed portrait play. • Unlock thread colors with Sparks you earn by playing, plus a free Daily Gift of Sparks. • A Free Revive every run gives you one more shot. • Optional motif packs (Floral, Cosmic, Geometric) or the Cosmetic Bundle change the look, never the rules. • Share your score card with friends. PLAYS ANYWHERE • Works fully offline: no Wi-Fi needed. • No ads. No account. No personal data collected. • Sound, music, haptics and Reduced Motion settings, plus VoiceOver labels. Pick it up, hold, release, and see how far your thread can go.
