Something is wrong inside the Wolfshade Asylum. Your sister was taken there, and now it’s up to you to find her and uncover the mystery behind what happened. Set in the 1930s, this story-driven first-person mystery changes the way you play in every chapter. One moment you’re running through narrow corridors under pressure, the next you’re solving puzzles or reacting to something you can’t fully see. Every run is procedurally generated, bringing new layouts, new paths, and new risks. Wolfshade Asylum feels structured and elegant at first, but beneath that surface, something isn’t right. The deeper you go, the harder it is to tell what’s safe and what isn’t. To survive longer, you’ll need to adapt, upgrade your skills, and make better use of powerups as challenges become more demanding. As you explore, you’ll find scattered documents, notes, and fragments of information. Piece by piece, they reveal what really happened inside the asylum—and why your sister was taken there. Key Features: - Every chapter plays differently - Procedurally generated runs with changing layouts - Multiple gameplay styles: runner, puzzle, action, and survival mechanics - Character upgrades and powerups - Hidden story through collectible documents Can you survive the Wolfshade Asylum, uncover the truth, and bring your sister back?

You are a luminous moth caught in the pull of a roiling star. One thumb is all it takes to fly, but mastering the dance between fire and flight will take everything you've got. SUNDIVE is a fast, reflex-driven pixel-art arcade game built around a single idea: HOLD to thrust outward and climb, RELEASE to dive back toward the flame. Real gravity gives every flight a satisfying orbital "whip" as you slingshot around the core, threading the gaps between red-hot cinders, drifting sparks, and sweeping laser flares. HOW TO PLAY HOLD to climb away from the star. RELEASE to dive back in. That's it. Time your thrust to swing wide, then let go to whip through tight gaps. Skim past danger to build your combo, gather glowing light-motes, and push your flight further than ever. FEATURES - One-thumb controls anyone can pick up in seconds - Real gravity with a momentum-driven orbital whip - Dodge escalating hazards: red-hot cinders, drifting sparks, and sweeping laser flares - Chain near-misses to stack a combo multiplier and rack up huge scores - Gather light-motes and earn Cores to unlock everything in-game - Unlock 6 moth species - Luna, Sphinx, Atlas, Ghost, Ember, and Frost - each flies differently - Collect 4 Sol skins for the star, plus dust-trail colors to customize your look - Equip Lure and Cocoon upgrades to push your runs further - Game Center leaderboard to chase friends and the world - Crisp retro pixel art with rich particle effects and haptics - Colorblind mode, Reduce Motion support, and a first-run tutorial - Built for iPhone, portrait, one hand ABOUT THIS GAME SUNDIVE is free to play. It includes optional ads: you can choose to watch a rewarded ad to revive and continue a flight, and short interstitials may appear between flights. If you'd rather play uninterrupted, a single one-time "Remove Ads" purchase removes interstitial ads. Earn Cores by playing and unlock everything in-game over time. No purchase is ever required. ONE MORE FLIGHT The flame always pulls you back. The hazards always escalate. Your best score is always one near-miss away from falling. Hold. Release. Just one more flight. From Bleach Games.
