Score by almost dying. One tap. Hold to rise, let go to fall. The closer you fly to the lethal edges, the faster your multiplier climbs. Play it safe and the run is worth nothing. A NEW WORLD EVERY DAY The course, the colors, the soundtrack, the weather and the day's own name are all generated from the date. Everyone on earth flies the same named world, and it resets at midnight UTC. Every Saturday, a Remix twists the rules. ONE GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Game Center boards for today, yesterday, all-time and daily wins. One winner a day. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Share a score and it becomes a challenge link. Your friends fly your exact course with your mark to beat, and the winner sends it back. WEEKLY LEAGUES Your daily bests add up every week. Climb from Bronze to Diamond against everyone who plays, and earn Stardust every Monday. DAILY OBJECTIVES Three new objectives every day, the same three for everyone: easy, medium and hard. Hit a score, chain grazes, master an obstacle, or make a comeback after a continue. Finish all three for a check mark next to your name on the daily board. COLLECT HUNDREDS OF ALIENS Finish the day in the top 3 and keep that day's alien forever. Finish all three objectives to meet the day's visitor, and catch the stowaway hiding somewhere on every daily course. Earn more for streaks, wins, big runs and every way you play, and collect holiday aliens from around the world, from Christmas to Day of the Dead to Diwali. Some are secrets you will have to discover. Every alien has its own name, and your favorite pilots every run, launching in its saucer before it becomes the ball. Your favorite evolves as it flies, taking a new form at every one of five stages, from a dragon whelp to a legendary dragon lord with wings of fire, with rare shinies to find. SEASONS AND REWARDS Every four weeks a new Season opens with 30 tiers of rewards and an alien you can only get that season. Every run, objective and perfect day moves you up. Open a chest every fifth run, catch the surprise Happy Hour for double Stardust, and your first run each day pays triple. MAKE IT YOURS Every run earns Stardust to spend in the shop: ball colors, trails and trail upgrades, saucer skins, hats and snacks for your favorite alien, alien eggs that hatch something new, and a golden name on the leaderboard. A weekly stall brings rare items that leave at the end of the week. Unlock new app icons as your collection grows. A weekly recap and a full stats page show how far you have come. SEVENTEEN KINDS OF OBSTACLE Walls, spinning rotors, gated rings, minefields that watch you, canyons, rails, bombs, and currents that push you off your line. Watch for named set pieces, and a world that changes as your Heat climbs. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Optimized for iPhone Duo, folded or open. The same layout and the same course on every iPhone, from the smallest to the biggest. Heat shows as pips as well as color. Larger text, and options to turn off screen shake and flashes. NO NONSENSE Free. Works with no signal. No timers, no lives to wait for, nothing locked behind a paywall. One optional purchase removes the banner ad. Your progress syncs with iCloud. Nine languages. Made by one person.
