Watch it play

Easy to learn

One button.

Hold fire to thrust up. Let go to fall. Don't touch the cave.

That's the whole of it. The cave twists, narrows and throws blocks in your way, and every crash is your own fault. Just one more go.

▼ Let go

Five vehicles, five caves

Five worlds

Every world has its own craft, its own colours and its own tune, all from the original. Playing earns experience, and experience opens the worlds.

Five ways to fly

FreeFlight

Fly as far as you can. The cave goes on for ever; you won't.

StarSearch

Chase the stars. Collect enough on each stage to move on, with three lives to do it.

Stage

Reach the finish line. Each stage runs further than the last.

Hunter

One life. As many stars as you can grab before the cave gets you.

Story

Dr Snuggles' quest to rescue Kylie, eight stages with cutscenes and all.
