Classic Platformer
Use your jumping abilities to hop onto platforms while racing across a dangerous field brimming with blocks and fatal obstacles. Run your way through a never ending path of spikes and hurdles that will have you gripping your phone. Leap over blocks, spring onto platforms, and hop over nerve-racking spikes all the while steering clear of hanging dangers.

Space Theme
You’re a robot living in a world overcrowded with potential hazards. Sprint across the screen towards uncertainty. With every hop, you’ll notice eerie shadows moving in the background according to your physical location. If you’re interested in playing as a different character, you’re in luck because unlocking characters is one of the game’s highlighted features.
