Control a rope with two handles. The rope has realistic physics. If any part touches an enemy, it's game over. And as your score climbs, the rope grows longer.
Manage both ends of your rope independently. A unique mechanic that's easy to learn but hard to master.
Gravity and momentum affect your rope naturally. Every swing, sag, and whip feels authentic.
Your rope grows longer as you score higher. Success makes survival increasingly challenging.
Compete globally for highest score or longest survival time via Game Center.
Three intuitive control schemes to suit your play style.
Each on-screen thumbstick controls one end of the rope. Ideal for precise, deliberate movements.
Tap and drag each end of the rope directly. Intuitive and immediate for players who prefer direct manipulation.
Full support for MFi and Bluetooth controllers. Perfect for players who prefer physical controls.
Four distinct enemy types, each with unique behaviors and dangers.
Travels in a straight line. Easy alone, dangerous in swarms. The most common threat.
Larger collision area makes dodging difficult, especially in tight spaces or with a long rope.
Moves in unpredictable wave patterns. Hard to predict, harder to avoid. Keep your distance.
Travels briefly, then explodes in a massive radius. Watch for the fuse countdown and clear the area!
Collect powerups with your rope handles. But grab them fast—enemies can destroy them too.
Your rope destroys enemies on contact! Hunt instead of hide. The key to high scores.
Shrinks your rope for easier maneuvering. Counters the growing difficulty as your score rises.
All enemies move in slow motion. More time to react when the screen gets crowded.
The rope floats freely like it's in space. Master this for new strategic possibilities.
Double all points earned. Stack with Laser Rope for maximum scoring potential.
Doubles rope movement speed. Outrun enemies and reposition quickly.
Survive one enemy hit. The rarest powerup in the game. Use it wisely!
Global leaderboards and achievements. Compete with friends worldwide.
Same great experience on iPhone and iPad.
No internet required. Play anywhere, anytime.
Distinct sound effects for every action and powerup.
