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.

Read full description

A game of hide-and-seek on a coral reef. ■ Octopuses melt into their surroundings Overlap coral, seaweed, rocks or the seabed and your color slowly shifts to match. Stay still and you become very hard to spot. Move and the camouflage breaks for a moment. ■ But you can't just hide forever Camouflage burns energy. When it runs out you can't hide at all, so you have to leave your hiding spot and eat fish. That means the chase always happens. ■ Divers search with a spear Even a direct hit only catches 1 in 4 times, so you have to keep at it. Set a net on their escape route, or watch an ad for a speargun with three times the reach. ■ Sharks don't take sides Get too close and a shark bites an arm off and slows you down. Sometimes it eats you whole. Divers get bitten too, so nowhere in the sea is truly safe. ■ Play with both hands One thumb steers with the stick while the other presses the buttons. Throwing the spear, squirting ink and dashing are all on buttons, so hold your phone with both hands. Left-handed? Open Settings (the gear at the top right of the home screen) and set Handedness to Left to swap every button to the other side. ■ Play alone or with up to 6 friends Empty slots are filled by AI, so you can play by yourself any time. Share a room code and play with friends anywhere. ■ The Thrill Score Points build while you stay camouflaged, perfectly still, right next to a diver. The closer and more head-on you are, the higher the multiplier. Hiding in a safe corner scores nothing. ■ Caught friends can be freed Being caught is not the end. Stay beside a caught friend for 2.5 seconds and they are back in the game. Divers have to guard what they caught, so every capture turns into a standoff. ■ Close your eyes and vanish Inside a hiding spot, close your eyes to disappear completely for 10 seconds. You can use it once per match. ■ Ride sea creatures Stay still for half a second next to a sea turtle, manta ray or anglerfish to climb on. You take on its color and get carried along. ■ Seasonal events During events like Halloween and Christmas, a limited-time sea appears and you get limited hats just by opening the game. ■ Looks, not power Forms, colors and hats change how you look. The exceptions are Tiny and Mini Squid: their small bodies are a little harder to spot. Ink and the Speargun stay at one use per match, even with a subscription. ■ Monthly subscriptions (auto-renewing) - Ink Monthly, JPY 280/month: use Ink once every match without watching an ad - Speargun Monthly, JPY 280/month: use the Speargun once every match without watching an ad - Octopus Pass Monthly, JPY 560/month: both of the above, plus no ads after matches. You also receive looks (Slender form, Halo hat) on your first purchase, and you keep them even after cancelling - Items can be used ONCE PER MATCH. Not unlimited. Your strength does not change - Payment is charged to your App Store account when you confirm the purchase - Renews automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends - Cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions - If you already bought the one-time versions, they keep working without a subscription - Prices shown are the Japanese yen base price; you are charged the equivalent in your local currency.
