Classic
How a run ends
Match the colour. Keep up. Don't miss.
It keeps getting faster
Every catch makes the next drop a little quicker. Your first runs start gentle.
One miss
In Classic and the Daily, one wrong colour ends the run. In the other modes it just resets your combo.

Four ways to play
Classic
The pure loop. Endless, and it only gets faster.
Music
Perform the song. Balls land on the beat and you play the chord tones.
Time
Beat the clock. Every clean catch buys back seconds.
Zen
Just flow. No clock, no leaderboard.
The details
Made with care
Sixty-three colours, easy to tell apart
Neighbouring colours always differ in shade as well as hue, and a colour-blind mode adds a shape to every colour.
You make the music
Every catch plays a note in key, so each run becomes its own song. Keep a combo going and the bass, arp and lead join in. Sixteen sound themes to choose from.
Fifteen languages
Including Modern Standard and Egyptian Arabic, with a full right-to-left layout.
Readable on every theme
Text and buttons adjust to whichever background you equip, so everything stays clear.

Ads, purchases and data
What it costs
Free, with ads
Ads show between runs, never during one, plus a banner on the results screen and now and then when you come back to the game. Rewarded ads are always your choice.
Nothing sold affects your rank
You can buy Remove Ads, a starter pack, gems or coins, which buy cosmetics and Combo Shields. A run saved by a shield or an ad revive never counts on the leaderboard. Nothing random is sold for money.
The daily run stays free
One attempt per day, the same for everyone, and no purchase buys another.
Your data stays yours
Your saves and settings stay on your device. A new best sends your score, generated name, plate and title to the leaderboard. Anonymous usage stats can be turned off in Settings › DATA. The privacy policy has the full list, and deleting your leaderboard row takes one email.
The board is anonymous
Names on the board are made up by the game, never typed by players.
