Pass-and-play, side by side
Turn your iPhone sideways and each player gets their own buttons on their own side of the screen. Rounds are short and loud, every bonk lands with a buzz, and the lead can change with one well-timed jump.
There's one key per level. Grab it, then jump at the door to open it and win the round.
Your rival has the key? Land on their head and it's yours. Every level also has a lever that shakes things up: reverse the belts, kill the lights, and more.
Gearworks, Frostbite Peak, Neon Grid, Magma Core, Sky Gardens, Ghost House, Deep Forest, Potion Lab, Alien World, Shark Attack, and Sawmill. Each cup is five of them, picked at random.
Playing alone? Pick how tough the CPU is in Settings. Easy and Normal get sharper every round of the cup; Hard plays its best from the very first round.
