AfterBurn

Read full description

Two thumbs. One rocket. An endless climb. Afterburn is a neon physics climber built around one simple, brutal skill: flying a real rocket with two thumbs. The left and right sides of your screen each fire a thruster. Hold both to lift straight off the floor; ease off one to tilt and steer. No autopilot, no second chances — just you, gravity, and a tower of landing pads stretching up into a synthwave sky. HOW IT WORKS • Touch the left and right of the screen to fire each thruster independently. • Lift off, climb, and set down gently and upright on the next platform. • A clean landing refuels your tank and pays out points — then the next pad appears higher up. • Burn fuel to fly; land with fuel to spare for a bigger bonus. • Come in too fast, too tilted, or run the tank dry, and your rocket goes up in a shower of debris. EVERY LANDING COUNTS Each pad you reach is worth 1,000 points, plus up to 1,000 more for the fuel still in your tank. The cleaner and more efficient your flight, the higher your score. The climb never ends — how far up can you get before one bad touchdown ends the run? CLIMB YOUR CITY UP THE RANKS Every run is automatically posted to a five-tier leaderboard — your city, region, country, continent, and the whole world. See exactly where you stand locally and globally, search any city to scope out the competition, and fight to put your hometown on top. FEATURES • Pure two-thumb, differential-thrust controls — easy to grasp, hard to master • Real SpriteKit physics: momentum, tilt, bounce, and tumbling debris • An endless vertical climb with pads that shrink as the stakes rise • Worldwide-to-city geo leaderboards • A hand-tuned synthwave look: neon grids, a chrome sun, a glowing HUD • Fuel management, satisfying landings, and explosive failure • No ads. No in-app purchases. Just the climb. Fire up. Climb high. Land clean. Afterburn.

About

Tippy Capy

Don't drop the capybara. Tippy Capy is a free one-thumb balance game about a capybara on a unicycle. Hold to lean forward, let go to lean back, and keep Capy rolling along a high rope with a stack of oranges for the picnic. When Capy falls, it lands face first on your screen. • ONE INPUT, REAL PHYSICS. Press and hold to lean forward, let go to lean back. Ropes dip, roll and sway, the wind arrives with a warning arrow, and harbour puddles slow the wheel. Easy to learn, hard to master, one-handed in portrait. • PICNIC ADVENTURE. 36 short crossings across three worlds: Picnic Park, Treetop Trail and Harbour Hop. Each chapter adds one new thing to learn. Earn up to three stars for a fast delivery, then unlock picnic decorations, a bonus course and an outfit in every world. • WEEKLY RIVALRY. One rope a week, the same for everyone in the world, with no finish line. Ride as far as you can, chase bronze to platinum medals and your weekly best, and compare scores in optional Game Center rankings. The rope closes on Sunday. • EVERY FALL IS A CLIP. Capy has a dozen crash reactions, and the last seconds of every fall become a short video with your metres on it. Share the clip or the card in one tap. • DRESS YOUR CAPY. Earn an outfit by mastering each world, or pick up the Comedy Pack (chef, snorkeller and business capy) and seasonal looks. Outfits change how Capy looks, never how it balances. • A GENTLE START. Your first crossing is just 4 metres with no wind, and a one-line hint tells you what to do. Every fall is instant to retry. A reduced-motion option keeps the face-plant still. Free to play on iPhone and iPad, offline, with no ads and no timers. No account needed; rankings are optional. A cosy casual arcade game for capybara fans and anyone who enjoys a good face-plant. Optional outfits are one-time purchases. Your progress and bests stay on your device. Made by SambaZen. Say hello at support@sambazen.com.
