Meet Grubb. He's a dented potato with one tooth and mismatched eyes — and he is going to the Moon. Slingshot the world's least likely heroes as far as they'll fly. Boost mid-air, slam into super-bounces, skip across oceans, ride volcano updrafts, and chain halo rings through a gorgeous, smug sky — then spend your coins on a stronger sling and go again. The world is beautiful. Your critter is not. That's the point. • One-thumb slingshot controls — three seconds to learn • A roster of lovable rejects: a lost sock, a sticky blob, a pimple with tiny angry eyebrows, and a moth named Karen who would rather be at a lamp • 7 worlds: meadows, dunes, ocean, ice, volcano, clouds… and the Moon at 10,000 m • 7 upgrade tracks that visibly change how you fly • The sky pays skill: halo rings, star chests, storm puffs, and air currents • Feed Sock once a day and he joins you in a week — missed days never punish you • Optional $0.99 extras (a greasy uncle, a few silly trails): buy once, keep forever • Everything else is earned by playing. Coins are never for sale. No account. No sign-in. Nothing to collect. Just you, a lumpy hero, and 10,000 meters of sky.
