## Description

Winner of the Apple Design Award 2019, Thumper: Pocket Edition is rhythm violence at its most intense. You are a space beetle punching through a neon void, racing across nine epic levels, and conquering brutal boss battles while a pounding original soundtrack drives every move.

Designed for one-handed play, this edition runs at smooth 60 FPS in both portrait and landscape (up to 120 FPS on supported devices), with iCloud Sync and a full-screen display on iPhone X. Note: wireless headphones can add latency, so wired headphones or integrated speakers are recommended for the best rhythm experience.
