Shoot, dash, and pound your way to the end of each level and take out the Animator’s tools. To advance, you’ll need to kill the Animator’s enemies as quickly as you can while collecting apples from fallen foes to spend on upgrades and weapons between reels. Keep your momentum by popping dots to refill your energy so you can stay on the move and keep dashing.

Race against the clock to beat the Animator within the time limit. You’ll extend your run by dashing and pounding through chains of enemies to spawn extra time tokens, and by completing mini-boss challenges to gain additional seconds. There’s no time for the shop here—pop item bubbles instead to power up on the fly.

Fight off everything the Animator can throw at you in an extended boss rush. This is the ultimate challenge, asking you to defeat the Animator once and for all, with all the boss attacks mixed together into one epic fight.

Collect apples and spend them in power-up shops that appear between reels. You can permanently upgrade your base gun to power up your shots for the run, and pick up special weapons to improve your chances—just be sure to keep your ammo topped up. You can also level up your speed to reach enemies faster, buy a shield for extra hit points, and upgrade your apple suck range so you can buy more stuff.

There are 55 Steam achievements to unlock, designed to challenge you to accomplish some of the game’s toughest feats.
