6 launch and upgrade games
Six games about going farther on every try: sling an acorn toward a far oak, glide a soapbox over a lake, drive a buggy ahead of a sandstorm or send a weather balloon to the edge of space. Every attempt pays toward upgrades, and most have a finish line to reach.
New here? Start with Acorn Airmail (lock the angle, then the power, then flap), then Piñata Tumble (fire, nudge in the air, and count the candy) or Weather Balloon (hold to burn, and steer through the wind).

Is it all about upgrades?
Upgrades help, but skill decides each run: the angle and the moment of release in Acorn Airmail, pitching without stalling in Soapbox Glider, and keeping the soup level in Broth Scooter.
How does a campaign end?
At the goal: Acorn Airmail at the oak 10,000 m away, Weather Balloon at the edge of space at 20 km, Sandstorm Supply Run at the depot, Soapbox Glider when you land beyond the lake within its 30-day season, Broth Scooter after its 30 routes. Piñata Tumble keeps your best candy from one launch across three canyons.
What makes a launch go farther?
Each game has its own help: updrafts and mushrooms in Acorn Airmail, where mud stops you; wind layers that blow opposite ways at different heights in Soapbox Glider; thermals and wind bands in Weather Balloon; trampolines in Piñata Tumble; and in Sandstorm Supply Run a nose you tip up with Gas or down with Brake while airborne.
