WARPTHREAD

WARPTHREAD is a fast 3D glider run through a living wormhole. Steer to carve the bends, boost to climb, let go to glide. The walls are deadly, and the tunnel never stops moving.

How to play WARPTHREAD

A one-minute tutorial teaches you to fly. Then 25 levels climb from EASY to NORMAL, HARD, INSANE and EXTREME, each one faster and tighter than the last.

The wormhole itself is the obstacle course: corkscrews, steep plunges, launch crests, hairpin turns and slivers barely wider than your ship. Walls fold in to block half the way, the tunnel squeezes shut and opens again, spinning gates turn across your path, drifting rocks sway in the tube and comets break in from outside.

Every five levels the tunnel passes through a new place: a nebula nursery, an asteroid belt, a shipbreakers' graveyard, a crystal aurora, and in Endless a black hole.

Crash and you go again from the start of the level in one press. Clear it and NEXT flies straight into the next one.

Controls

Modes

• Levels: 25 hand-built courses in five tiers.
• Endless, Deep Warp: a never-ending run that keeps speeding up, opened by clearing the levels.

Tips

• Gliding sinks you slowly; boost early before a climb rather than at the wall.
• Fly through a gap when a spinning gate turns it toward you, and pass a folding wall on its open side.
• A comet cracks the tunnel wall before it breaks in: the crack shows where it will cross.
• Brighter bands in the tunnel wall give a short burst of speed.
• A close pass of a wall, rock or gate counts as a Near Miss and pays a little bonus Stardust, up to five a run.

What you earn

• Collect Stardust on every run and spend it in the Hangar on 10 ships, 10 engine trails and 10 hull colours.
• Come back daily for a free gift that grows over 7 days.
