Pounce
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pounce is a one-thumb slingshot climber. Drag back, release, and launch the ball up an endless vertical shaft — land on the platforms, bank off the walls, keep climbing. The skill is in the landing: hit a platform dead center for a PERFECT and build your multiplier up to x8. Falling is survivable — you only lose at the very bottom. The higher you climb, the meaner it gets: crumbling pads, springboards, conveyor belts, timed glass, spikes — and now ice, blinking platforms and see-saws. • Global leaderboard with country flags — no account needed • Weekly seasons: a fresh board every Monday, star prizes for the top 3 • Cloud save: your progress survives reinstalls and new phones • 50+ ball skins and 5 themes to unlock with stars and trophies • Quick runs, instant retry, "just one more launch" How high can you pounce?

Draw the path. Save the runner. Inkleap is a one-finger drawing runner. Your stickman runs on its own; you draw the way. Bridge the gaps, draw over the spikes, hold a shield over falling rocks and block the arrows. Every line counts. RUN FARTHER, SEE MORE The world changes as you go: new skies and landscapes roll in the farther you run. Beat your best distance and share your record with friends. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • Daily Course: one course a day, the same for everyone. Learn it and earn all three stars. • Gold Rush: sixty seconds on a road paved with coins. • Events that take turns through the week: Moon Run with low gravity, Night Run in the dark with glowing lines, and Meteor Shower, where your shields knock meteors away. • Run Together: your friend runs right behind you, and your lines have to carry you both. THE GREAT ESCAPE Pirates have you cornered on a clifftop! Hold off their arrows, jump into the gorge, cross the shark-filled sea and run the beach under cannon fire to reach the jungle. Five stages, and each day the same course for everyone. BUILD YOUR VILLAGE Spend the coins you earn to build your camp piece by piece, and pick the style and color of every building. When a place is finished, take a journey run to the next one: the Island, Underwater, the Snowy Mountain, the Moon Base and Neon City. Every place you finish gives you a new runner and a new world, and along the way a friend moves in to run with you. WORKSHOP Upgrade your pen, ink, shield, coin magnet and more. Upgrades help in Gold Rush, the weekly events, Run Together and the Great Escape. Record runs and the Daily Course stay pure skill. MAKE IT YOURS Collect 15 runners, 9 ink colors and 12 worlds. MISSIONS AND REWARDS Three new missions every day, a daily reward and 10 tiered achievements. Inkleap is free to play. It contains ads and optional in-app purchases. No Ads removes the ads between runs.
