VIP / Remove Ads turns all ads off. OPTIONAL IN-APP PURCHASES • Coin packs to unlock skins and faces faster • XP Boost and XP Mega for faster leveling • VIP / Remove Ads — one-time purchase: every reward instantly, no ads All purchases are optional and never needed to play or win. "Restore Purchases" is in the Coin Shop. PRIVACY No account needed. Nearby multiplayer runs directly between devices. Game Center is run by Apple, purchases by Apple's StoreKit. Ads come from Google AdMob — whether they are personalized is up to you in the iOS tracking prompt. Made independently in Switzerland — with love for the arcade era.

About

Starlane

Read full description

Outrun the lanes. Starlane is a one-thumb arcade runner set in deep space. Swipe between three lanes, climb over debris, dive under laser gates, and push as far as the corridor lets you. The speed never stops climbing. SIX SECTORS Launch Orbit, Ring Shallows, Ion Belt, Night Drift, Plasma Front and Aurora Gate — each with its own palette, hazards and score, crossfading into the next as you go deeper. FIVE WAYS TO RUN • Classic Dash — endless, speed climbs forever • Time Sprint — 60 seconds, score as hard as you can • Coin Rush — 40 seconds of pure loot, barely any walls • Gauntlet — tight corridors, bosses twice as often • Hardcore — max speed, no revives, triple payout A NEW RUN EVERY DAY The Daily Challenge hands everyone the same seeded track — identical obstacles, identical coins — so the only variable is you. Miss a day and the streak resets. BUILD YOUR RUN Five upgrade tracks (Coin Value, Magnet Field, Auto-Shield, Score Core, Grazer), boosts you stack before launch, and twelve rockets to collect across four rarities. Every rocket is cosmetic — none of them make you faster. SEASON 1 · SKYWARD Twenty tiers, a free track and a premium track, and daily missions that feed both. MADE FOR ONE HAND Portrait, one thumb, no account and no sign-in. The game itself plays offline. Every sound is synthesised live on your device — there is not a single audio file in the download. — Starlane is free to play, paid for by ads. Full-screen breaks appear between runs, and the rewarded videos are always your choice — watch one for a revive, doubled coins, gems or a wheel spin. Remove Ads and the VIP Pass both take the breaks away for good. Coins, gems, crates, weekly ranks and duels are simulated on your device: the leaderboard rivals are generated locally, not real players. Gem packs, the Founder's Bundle, Remove Ads, the Piggy Bank and the VIP Pass are real purchases made through the App Store. VIP Pass is an auto-renewable subscription at $6.99 per month, billed to your Apple Account. It grants double coins on every run, +2 energy capacity and no interstitials. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
