Tap to leap from planet to planet, time each jump so you land perfectly, and keep going until the darkness catches you. Every perfect landing builds a streak, every streak lifts the score, and every run reaches a little higher than the one before. The sky is never the same twice. Skirt the pull of a black hole, cross the glare of a dying sun, ride out a comet storm, and find what waits inside the fog. New events unlock as you climb, and each one changes how you play. WHAT YOU'LL FIND - One-tap controls that take a minute to learn and a long time to master - Handmade worlds and events, each with its own hazards and rhythm - Perfect-landing streaks that reward timing over reflexes - Shields and guides to bank for the run that matters - A hangar of skins to collect and ride - Full haptic feedback EMBER is free to play. Optional shard packs and a one-time remove-ads purchase are available.

About

Gate Rush 3D

Features
Read full description

One knight. A thousand levels. Every gate doubles your army or destroys it. Gate Rush 3D is a one-thumb runner about arithmetic under pressure. Gates rush at you in pairs and you steer into one of them: triple your squad or add twelve, clone your crowd or take a shield, more damage or a faster rate before the boss. Choose well and a single knight becomes an army. Choose the halving gate and you reach the battle too small to win. RUN, GROW, CONQUER Drag left or right. Your squad runs in formation behind you and squeezes into single file when the bridge narrows. Read the gates early, keep the numbers climbing, and arrive with more knights than the crowd waiting for you. WHAT YOU GET • 1000 handcrafted levels across twenty realms, each with its own sky, stone and skyline • Math gates that decide everything: add, multiply, divide, clone, shield, mystery • Crowd battles settled by the numbers you brought, not by luck • 100 bosses whose attack patterns multiply as you climb • Eight dodgeable hazards, from swinging hammers to collapsing floors • A finish ramp that pays up to five times the coins • Upgrades, skins, capes, crowns, trails and whole realms to unlock • Daily missions, a daily chest, login and win streaks, and a free lucky spin • Portrait play, no account, and a campaign that works offline Free to play with ads. Rewarded ads are optional and always tell you what you get before you watch. Built by Chand Studios.
