One tap. A trap-filled shaft. Wall-jump past saws, spikes, and arrow turrets. Climb the global leaderboard. Free, offline, no pay-to-win. Endless Descent is a one-tap arcade survival game built around a single rule: tap, kick, survive. Tap when you hit a wall to launch off it. Tap again when you reach the other side. Keep falling, keep moving, stay alive. The deeper you go, the harder it gets. Dodge saws, spikes, arrow turrets, falling slabs, swinging platforms, and more. After the first hundred meters you're not just reacting โ€” you're reading the path ahead, timing every jump, and squeezing through gaps on instinct. Three pickup lanes line the shaft. Snap up coins, hold your combo, make every run count. Lose the rhythm, lose the streak. Climb the global leaderboard. No sign-ups. No accounts. Play offline anytime, then post your score when you're back online. FEATURES - One-tap controls โ€” pick up and play in 5 seconds - Endless wall-jump arcade gameplay - Saws, spikes, arrow turrets, falling slabs, and more - Coin combos that reward rhythm - Global Game Center leaderboard + achievements - Plays offline, syncs when you're back online - Free, no pay-to-win
