What you get

A real game, not a slot machine

No energy meters, no timers, no waiting. You race, you collect salmon, you buy dogs, you finish the story.

Drag to steer

One thumb, the whole trail. Drag left and right to carve; the team leans with you and the sled holds the line you give it.

Six regions, thirty-one trails

Neon tundra, a planted forest, sea ice that remembers being water, a road someone cut, a sky harbour, and the climb to the ship.

Five guardians

Every region ends underground, in the dark, with something that was built to stop you. Beat it and the next region opens.

Build the team

Four Alaskan Huskies to start. Three Neo-Nordic hounds in the kennel. Speed, stamina and strength all change how the sled drives.

Salmon economy

Collect red and gold salmon on the trail. Spend them on dogs. No timers, no energy bars, nothing that stops you racing.

A story that ends

Ronan Frost has run this tundra since he could stand on a sled. Six worlds later he leaves the planet. There is an actual ending.

Six regions

One planet, and a road off it

Every region ends underground with a guardian. Beat it and the next region opens — that is the whole progression, and it never asks you for money.

The finale

The kennel

Seven dogs, four in harness

Four Alaskan Huskies come with the sled. Three Neo-Nordic hounds are earned with salmon — never bought with money. Speed, stamina and strength all change how the team pulls.

The story

Ronan Frost is trying to leave

An abandoned colony world, a musher who cannot leave it on foot, and a road built by people who could. Six worlds, six chapters, and an ending.

  1. The Neon Tundra

    The mine remembers being a machine. Ronan runs south, toward daylight he has never seen.

  2. Frostfall

    The forest was planted. Whatever planted it went south too — and the land runs out at the ice.

  3. The Sundered Sea

    The sea is crossed. On the far shore, a road: cut stone, lamps still lit, running inland to something that has a name.

  4. The Starfall Road

    The sentinel stands down. Above the buried streets, Skyhaven opens its gates for the first visitor in a thousand years.

  5. Skyhaven

    The water runs and the city wakes. On the highest terrace, a ship that has been waiting lights its runes.

  6. The Last Launch

    Ronan Frost leaves Borealis Prime with his dogs and the old star-charts. Ahead, small and blue: Earth.

From the World 1 cutscene. Each region ends with one of these — no dialogue, one line of text, and the next place to go.

What the free game shows you
A full-screen ad after some races — never during one, never before your fourth finish, and never more than one every couple of minutes.
An ad you can choose
After a race you can watch one to double that race's salmon. Skipping it costs you nothing but the salmon.
What Premium changes
Every ad, gone. The salmon you earn stay the same — Premium buys quiet, not an advantage.
One purchase, all your devices
Apple remembers it. RESTORE PURCHASES in the store brings it back after a reinstall or on a new phone.
