Hold your thumb anywhere to slow time and aim. Lift to dash. Everything in your path goes down, and one hit takes you out. Clear the room in seconds, then do it again one stage deeper. The first stage teaches the move, so you can start playing right away. Every run builds a new set of stages, and no stage plays like the one before it. Cut enemies down as they squeeze through a narrow door. Fight your way out when you start surrounded. Take out a crowned leader and the rest fall with it. Light a barrel and get clear before it blows. The enemies keep changing as you go deeper. Gunners and snipers show you where they're aiming before they fire. Shields only go down from the side or from behind. Splitters break in two. Bombers lay mines, so watch where you land. Wardens protect everyone near them, so they have to go first. Every 10 stages, a boss is waiting. After some stages you pick one of three perks. Each one helps you and costs you something, so every pick changes how you play the rest of the run. Score big by lining enemies up and cutting through several in one dash, keeping your combo going, clearing rooms fast, and finishing a room without a wasted dash. • One thumb, portrait, anywhere on the screen • Restart in a single tap • Up to 120 fps on ProMotion displays, with haptics you can feel on every hit • Sound effects and original music start off, so you can play over your own music or podcasts • No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, and no data collected • Plays offline How far can you go?
