How to play
Open Settings from the gear button while the game is ready or showing a result. Under Choose How to Play, select either control style.
One Thumb
Touch and hold, then drag to tow the glowing weight. Sweep the elastic thread through blue lights to score. Stretch farther to increase your multiplier, but do not pull so far that the thread snaps.
Two Thumbs
Place and hold both thumbs to form the thread, then move both ends directly. Sweep through blue lights, avoid hazards, and control the stretch.
Each control style keeps its own best score. Every run becomes faster and more difficult.
Sound, haptics, and motion
Sound, haptics, and Reduce Motion can be adjusted from Settings inside the app.
Haptic feedback requires a supported physical iPhone. The game remains playable when haptics are turned off or unavailable.
Resetting a best score
Open Settings and choose Reset One Thumb Best Score or Reset Two Thumbs Best Score, depending on the selected control style. This removes only that score from your device.
Troubleshooting
- Close and reopen Tension.
- Confirm that your iPhone is running iOS 17 or later.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Install the latest available version of Tension.
