Mobile game · In friends' testing

Fly the spark. Beat your Squad.

Forgeflight is a one-more-go arcade game. Guide Ember through forge gates that speed up every ten, then watch your mates' best scores land on a live leaderboard within a second.

SCROLL
Real gameplay

Two thumbs. One spark.

Tap the right side to flap, the left to dive. Gates speed up every ten, banners call out each new tier, and coins and pick-ups appear mid-flight.

  • Tier 2 reached
  • +5 Ember coin
  • Shield pick-up

Played the way people play it, at normal speed: one tap per bounce, with the odd dive to line up the next gap.

Power-ups

Grab it. Feel it.

Five pick-ups float in the gaps. Each one lights up the run the moment Ember touches it.

ShieldSoaks up one crash and keeps the run alive.
Slow-moThree seconds of slower gates and a purple haze.
ShrinkEmber shrinks for eight seconds. Tight gaps get roomy.
DoubleThe next ten gates score double.
The ladder

Pick your edge.

One power-up before every run, from a free Second Spark to Phoenix wings. Every card has a live preview, so you see it before you spend.

Lava, slammer gates and Cinder Bats, with its own music. The Forge has a power hammer slamming over the anvil.

Forever mode

Six worlds. 9,999 gates.

Forever keeps going, through sky, sea, storm and star. Every hundred gates the world changes, and a pit stop lets you bank or power up.

Hold the bar on the home screen and say what you think. It's transcribed automatically, so nothing gets lost.

Home

A podium worth climbing.

The home screen plays the game by itself while the podium flips between Main, Hardcore and Forever. It installs to your home screen and plays offline.

Every screen on this page is the real game with made-up sample players. Skins and Forge Club are coming soon.
