How to Play

Drag to aim an upward shot, then release to fire a stream of balls.
Balls fan out, bounce off walls and cages, chip away at each cage’s HP, and return to the floor.
After every salvo the whole field descends one row and a fresh row spawns at the top.
Watch for trap cages — let one reach the danger line and it steals a ball from your salvo.
The run ends when a cage crosses the danger line. Your score is how many animals you free before then — multiplied by your Frenzy combo.

Rescue Worlds

Ten hand-themed worlds, each with its own cast of four animals, ambient music, danger line, and icons — 40 species in all. Freed animals collect in your persistent Sanctuary, and return mid-run as a helper squad.

🌴 Rainforest Raid — where every rescue begins
🌊 Ocean Haul — danger comes as a net
❄️ Arctic Breakout — mind the crevasse
🦁 Savanna Run — outrun the dust storm
🐄 Barnyard Liberation — beat the truck
🐊 Bayou Rescue — the swamp gas is rising
🐠 Coral Reef — stay ahead of the trawl net
🦝 City Rescue — before the storm drain floods
🌋 Volcano Sanctuary — the lava crack is opening
🌸 Cherry Grove — outpace the logging saw

Worlds unlock in order: clear a score milestone in one world to open the next (Pro unlocks all ten instantly).

Features
