Fly the drone above the train and defend it from all the monsters trying to wreck it. The armoured cars fight on their own. But you are the thing that can support them, and you can only be in one place at a time. Fly the roof. Overcharge the car you are standing over. Stomp the boarders off the deck. Drag in the scrap and upgrade the cars and drone at the stations. TWELVE WAVES TO A TERMINUS the line asks how long you want to keep going. Pull in and bank the run, or run on into the next division, where everything that was hard is worse. There is no last stop, only the one you chose or lose. THE TRAIN Laser, mortar, tesla, shield, flak, carrier. Three of a kind in a row unlocks pierce, chain, salvo and reach. Three of a kind anywhere can instead be fused into one car a level higher, a railgun, a jericho, a gatling, which costs a single coupling instead of three. Breadth or depth. You cannot have both. THE DRONE Whatever car you hover over fires harder and faster. Scrap only magnetises to where you are. Boarders only come off under your boots. Nothing you do is free, because everything you do is somewhere else. THE STATION Goods on plinths, a board shows what a repair costs, and a lever marked DEPART sends you back out. Buy a car. Bolt a module to it. Decide what the train is for. THE DEPOT A dead run still pays. Bonds buy the shape of the next run, never power inside this one. A warranty costs thirty and buys you a single derail. After that it is percentages. WHAT IT COSTS Free is the whole game: every wave, every car, every module, the depot. A couple of the cars and modules are earned by playing rather than handed over, and none of them are for sale. The Line Pass is one optional purchase. It clears the hoardings, opens the difficulty ladder past the first line, and unlocks the deeper depot ranks. A one-time unlock, not a subscription. Nothing behind it changes the balance of a free run.

Six letters. How high can you go? Anagrav is a pixelated word game about speed, accuracy, and consistency, and finding another word to keep your streak alive! RISE, FALL, AND CLIMB AGAIN Your words are your fuel. Every accepted word refills the fuel bar, and the fuller it is, the faster you rise. Run out of fuel and you'll start falling—but the run isn't over yet. Find enough new words before the countdown ends to restart your engines and climb again. Keep your combo going, explore farther into space, and push for the highest score you can get. TAP LETTERS. MAKE WORDS. Tap tiles to select your letters, then tap anywhere on the empty background to submit your word. Find words from three to six letters, build your combo, and go for the highest score you can get. Your speed tier, along with your current combo, multiplies, so please remember to be fast and accurate! KEEP IT GOING! Every accepted word helps you climb higher. Longer words and bigger combos help you score more. Your fuel bar has a multiplier bonus as well as your current combo of correct words found in the row, so should you prioritize speed, precision, or both? Luckily your tiles won't get hurt for long when you get a word wrong. Adapt as your letters change, and think fast to recover when you start falling. EXPLORE SPACE Journey through six distinct areas, from Clouds and Orbit to Deep Space, Ice Veil, Toxic Bloom, and Nova Rose. Keep finding words to travel farther, discover new scenery, and go for the highest score you can get. SWIPE THROUGH YOUR LOBBY! Swipe between the locker, play screen, and shop. Swipe twice to travel from one end to another. When you're ready, tap anywhere on the play screen's background to start. MAKE YOUR TILES YOURS. Collect stars while you play and unlock new letter styles in the locker. Browse optional tile skins in the shop and put together your favorite look with unlockable fonts in the locker too. BEAT YOUR BEST! Review your score, height, words, and combo after each run. Then jump back in and see if you can do better. Play offline with no ads and no account required. Optional cosmetic skins are available through one-time in-app purchases. Buying and restoring purchases requires an internet connection.
