How far can you go?

A captivating endless thrower

Simply pull back and let go.

Land on the floor and throw again. Land in a pit and the run is over.

How far can you go?

An Endless run 15,000 metres in: the ball on a neon grid, wide glowing orange pits ahead, and the run and best distances in the corner.

Daily Challenge

Land in the target in as few attempts as possible.

Build a daily streak and climb the leaderboard.

The Daily Challenge: a round target on the floor ahead of the ball. The Daily Challenge calendar, with the days played marked and the current streak.

Controls

Pull back to control throw strength and direction.

Three ways to control the angle of the throw:

  • Tilt your phone as the in-game floor stays parallel to the ground.
  • Manually control the angle with an on-screen slider.
  • On iPhone Duo, position your phone like a laptop and the screen angle controls the throw.
Aiming a throw 15,000 metres into a run: the ball pulled back on a neon grid, the strength meter down the left and the angle slider down the right.
