Slingstar

A one-tap orbit game. Read the line, slingshot between rings, and chase the world board. Now on iPhone. No ads.

Tap to release. Land the next ring. Don't stop.

Slingstar is a one-tap arcade game about orbits, timing and nerve. Your ship circles a spinning ring. Tap, and it flies off on the tangent — straight at the next ring, if you read the line right. Misjudge it and the run is over.

THE SLINGSHOT Land on a ring turning the opposite way to the last one, quickly, and you start a slingshot combo. Keep alternating and it compounds: the arcs behind you glow, then burn, then catch fire. It's the highest-scoring line in the game and the hardest to hold, because it asks for timing and aim at the same moment.

GO DEEPER Every few rings the game asks something new. Ice crusts that accelerate your orbit. Spike arcs that end a run on contact. Rings spaced far enough apart that skipping one is worth the risk.

CHASE THE BOARD Your best runs go to a Game Center world board, and rivals appear in the corner mid-run so you can watch yourself pass them. Nothing is for sale that makes you better: every skin is cosmetic, every ship handles identically, and the aim guide is the same for everyone. Scores are earned.

COLLECT Fly through coins mid-flight and spend them on different ships — a comet, a toaster, a singularity — or on shields that carry into your next run. A daily bonus grows with your streak.

One tap to learn. A long way down.
