Collect diamonds, dodge obstacles and survive as long as possible in Space Cube! Take control of your cube and race through an endless space track filled with incoming obstacles. Swipe left, right or up to switch lanes, avoid danger and keep your run alive. The longer you survive, the faster and more challenging the game becomes. Watch for special big diamonds appearing in the lanes. Collecting them grants bonus points and temporarily eases the challenge, giving you a chance to push your score even higher. Space Cube is easy to learn but difficult to master. Quick reactions, precise timing, and sharp focus are the keys to reaching the top. Play your way: • Swipe controls with fast lane switching • Three-lane endless runner gameplay • Collect diamonds and chase high scores • Special diamonds with bonus rewards • Increasing difficulty and speed • Portrait and landscape mode support • No ads during gameplay • Smooth and responsive arcade action There are no complicated mechanics and no time limits. Just pure arcade gameplay, fast reflexes and the challenge of beating your best score. How far can you go in Space Cube?
Shinobi Kyoto Run
Read full descriptionHide full description
Race through lantern-lit Kyoto at night as a ninja in this 3D endless runner. Swipe to turn, jump and slide, and cut down the yokai that block your path with katana and shuriken. How far can you run? ■ Swipe-only controls ・Swipe left / right — take corners and switch lanes ・Swipe up — jump over gaps and sword racks ・Swipe down — slide under low torii gates A short "How to play" screen appears the first time you play. ■ Slash your way forward Katana and shuriken come in 8 elements: fire, water, flower, wind, thunder, light, ice and red lightning. Every weapon you pick up adds to your attack power — reach the power a yokai demands and you slice right through. When you find a weapon, choose between a free one or a stronger one bought with in-game coins. Keep running and bosses such as Hannya and Tengu will be waiting. ■ A changing Kyoto From the opening where the Rashomon gate rises, run through moonlit machiya streets, across rooftops, indoors, and into a sakura shrine at dawn — classic Japanese scenery in 3D. ■ 15 seconds to revive After a game over you have 15 seconds to revive. You get one free revive per run; after that, use a Migawari Charm. Charms can occasionally be found while running, or bought as an in-app purchase (pack of 3). ■ No ads No ads appear during play. No account needed, and you can play offline. The developer does not collect personal data. ■ Game Center leaderboard Send your distance to the Game Center leaderboard and see your personal best and global rank (requires Game Center sign-in). In-app purchase: ・Migawari Charm ×3 (consumable)
