Guide a fluffy little chick through an endless fall, dodge clouds and enemies, collect coins and power-ups and chase your next high score. Play online or offline, no Wi-Fi needed.

Slip through tight gaps, read moving cloud formations and use your dash at the right moment. The deeper you go, the faster the game gets and the tougher the obstacles become. 9 WORLDS TO DISCOVER Drop from a sunny sky into thunderstorms, a moonlit night sky, a neon city skyline, dark sewers, the deep sea, a shattered underwater lab, glowing lava caves and finally a mystical galaxy.
