Drift By: Black Hole Game

Free space arcade game: drop black holes, let gravity fly your rocket and swallow everything in your way. Offline, no in-app purchases, one thumb.

Drift By is a free space arcade game with one rule: you don't steer the rocket. You drop black holes, and gravity does the flying.

Put a finger on the screen and time stands still. Drop a black hole, let go, and your rocket swings around it – past walls, lasers and whatever else is hanging around up there. The same hole that saves you also pays your bills: everything it swallows turns into points.

WHAT'S WAITING UP THERE • An endless climb: from morning sky through the stratosphere into orbit – and past that, things get strange. • No two runs alike: walls and obstacles reshuffle every time you launch. • Asteroid fields with shapes: diamonds, waves, arcs, spirals. One well-placed hole harvests the whole field at once. • Combos up to ×10, checkpoint bonuses every two kilometers – and a balance that keeps whispering about a new ship. • A hangar full of ships with their own abilities: warp portals, nova shockwave, shield, fire dash, escort wing, overdrive. Plus a secret ship for anyone who completes the collection. • Boost and brake, for players who like to pick their own pace. • Daily bonus in the hangar: one short video a day doubles your balance. • Game Center: your best altitude against the world and your friends, with weekly rankings and achievements. Share your record as a picture with one tap.

BUILT FAIR Drift By is completely free, with no in-app purchases. Every ship is unlocked with points you earn by playing. Ads are strictly optional: a video to continue a run, refill your lives or claim the daily bonus. No account, no sign-up, plays offline.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK Do I need an internet connection? No. Drift By runs offline; only the leaderboards need a connection. How do I control it? One finger, anywhere on the screen. Hold to freeze time and aim, release to drop the black hole. Are there in-app purchases? None. Every ship is earned with points. How long is a run? A few minutes. It's built for a queue, a bus ride, a break. Can I play one-handed? Yes – the whole game is one thumb. How do I learn it? A short tutorial in your first run shows you everything. After that, you're on your own.

A run takes a few minutes. So does the next one. And probably the one after that.
