The ground is temporary. Slip and Jump is an arcade descent through strange dimensions where falling is inevitable - but losing control is not. Guide your Jumper from platform to platform as the world keeps moving beneath you. Land safely, but do not get comfortable: every brick has a clock. Wait too long and you slip. Miss too many platforms and you fall too far. Hit the wrong hazard and your run can end in an instant. Then you adapt. As you progress, you unlock new Jumpers with powers that change the rules. Levitate in midair and steer toward a safer landing. Keep your footing when bad weather makes platforms slippery. Survive a spike that would normally end your run. Fall farther than an ordinary Jumper. Or use Rebirth to claw your way back after a disastrous drop. The strongest Jumpers combine those abilities into one Ultimate power set. Each level is its own dimension, with a different atmosphere, hazards, timing, and personality. Reach the bottom and you do not simply walk into the next stage - you disappear into a black hole and emerge somewhere new. WHY YOU’LL KEEP DROPPING • Simple touch controls built for phones and tablets • Fast arcade runs with skill-based movement and timing • 20 dimensions with changing themes and conditions • Unlockable Jumpers with distinct powers • Levitate, Storm Grip, Spike Shield, Deep Drop, and Rebirth abilities • Coins, score chasing, hazards, weather, and moving platforms • Black-hole transitions between dimensions • Optional Premium Jumpers with specialized power sets • Easy to understand, difficult to master A GAME FROM TWO YOUNG CREATORS Slip and Jump began as the first game created by brothers Michael and Andrew, ages nine and ten. Their idea was simple: falling should not just mean failing. A great Jumper learns when to move, when to land, when to let go, and how to come back stronger. You cannot stay on one platform forever. Keep moving.
Tether Arcade

Tether is a one-touch arcade game. No account, no sign-in, no in-app purchases and no ads. It works fully offline. HOW TO PLAY Hold anywhere to hook the nearest anchor and swing around it. Release to fly off along the tangent, then hold again to catch the next one. There is no brake and no undo - just how far you get before the wipeout. SKIM THE SAWS Saws sit between the anchors. Cutting close to one without touching it stacks your multiplier, so the tighter your line, the faster the score climbs. Play it safe and you score slowly. Play it greedy and you score fast. DAY STREAK Come back on consecutive days and your streak raises the score floor you start every run from. SKINS New looks unlock as your best score climbs, from the first at 60 all the way to 1500. SHARE Every run ends with a card of your score, ready to share. LANGUAGES The game reads the device language at launch and shows its text in whichever of its thirteen supported languages matches: English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Bengali, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian and Thai. Any other language falls back to English.
