Jumping Spikes
Read full descriptionHide full description
The simplest game you'll never put down. Tap to flip direction. Bounce between two walls. Survive the spikes. That's it. That's the whole game. But every wall you hit, fresh spikes appear on the wall you just left. The longer you survive, the harder it gets. The faster you go. The narrower the gaps. Until one mistake ā one millisecond of bad timing ā sends you straight into the spikes. ⢠ONE TAP. INFINITE DEPTH. No tutorials. No menus. Tap once, you're in. ⢠60FPS NATIVE ACTION Built in Swift + SpriteKit for buttery smooth gameplay on every iPhone, from SE to Pro Max. ⢠HAPTIC FEEDBACK Every jump, every score, every spike collision ā you feel it. ⢠BEAT YOUR BEST Your high score follows you everywhere. Crush it, share it, lose it to your friends. ⢠OFFLINE READY Subway, plane, dead Wi-Fi ā Spike Jumper doesn't care. ⢠NO PAYWALLS, NO PRESSURE Free to play. Just one banner ad at the bottom ā tap, ignore, your call. ā PERFECT FOR ā ⢠Killing 30 seconds in line at the coffee shop. ⢠Killing 30 minutes in bed at 2 AM. ⢠That one friend who claims they have "good reflexes." ⢠Anyone who misses arcade games. ā A WARNING ā Spike Jumper is built to be the kind of game where you tap "Just one more try" thirty times in a row. Open at your own risk. Now jump.
Threadline

Threadline is a game about one thing: keeping a steady hand. A sewing needle travels across an endless strip of fabric. Hold your finger anywhere on the screen and it dives. Let go and it rises. That is the whole control scheme, and you will understand it in about five seconds. The skill is in the timing. Stitch points drift past above and below the centre of the cloth, and you have to thread the needle through each one. Clip the edge and you get a stitch. Pass through dead centre and you get a Perfect ā worth more score, more Thread Coins, and a noticeably crisper little tick under your thumb. Miss, and your combo takes the hit. Miss three times in quick succession and the thread snaps. HOW IT PLAYS ⢠One touch. Hold to dive, release to rise. ⢠Perfect stitches build a rising melody as your combo grows. ⢠The fabric speeds up and the patterns tighten the longer you last. ⢠Waves, zigzags, long sweeps and quick flurries ā and every single pattern is generated to be physically possible. If you are precise enough, you can hit it. ⢠Misses expire after a few seconds, so one bad patch never ruins a good run. ⢠Restarting is instant. No loading, no waiting, straight back in. THREAD COINS AND SKINS Play well and you earn Thread Coins. Spend them in the shop on six hand-tuned cosmetic themes ā warm Classic Cotton, deep Midnight Silk, Golden Thread, electric Neon Stitch, soft Sakura Fabric, and Cosmic Weave threaded with starlight. Every skin changes the needle, thread, fabric, stitch points and background. None of them changes the game. No pay-to-win, because there is nothing to pay. BUILT TO BE LEFT ALONE ⢠No ads. ⢠No in-app purchases. Thread Coins are earned by playing, and that is the only way to get them. ⢠No account, no sign-in, no internet connection required. ⢠No tracking and no data collection of any kind. Your high score never leaves your phone. Just a needle, a line of thread, and one finger.
