How to play

Simple moves. Rising pressure.

Guide Uni through an increasingly busy underwater world. Survival is measured in seconds, so every bubble and every move counts.

01

Tap to swim

Tap anywhere on the screen and Uni will swim toward that spot.

02

Hurry with two fingers

Tap with two fingers when Uni needs an extra burst of speed.

03

Keep breathing

Collect air bubbles before the air meter runs out. Bigger bubbles provide more room to breathe.

04

Avoid the rocks

Watch their path, move early, and use helpful power-ups when the water gets crowded.

Game modes

Two ways to survive.

Practice the familiar rhythm of Classic Uni or return for a Daily Challenge with its own combination of speed, hazards, air, and power-ups.

Purchases + Game Center

Unlock, restore, compete.

The Uni Supporter Pack is a one-time, non-consumable purchase. It unlocks every Uni color and enables score posting to the Classic and Daily Game Center leaderboards.

Restore the Supporter Pack

  • Open Settings from the game.
  • Move to one of the locked Uni colors.
  • Select Restore.
  • Use the same Apple Account that made the original purchase.

Use Game Center

  • Sign in to Game Center in the device’s Settings app.
  • Play Classic Uni or the Daily Challenge to set a score.
  • With the Supporter Pack unlocked, completed scores can post to their matching leaderboard.
  • Select View Leaderboard after a run to compare scores.

Quick fixes

Try these first.

Most account, challenge, and leaderboard issues can be cleared with a few quick checks.

My purchase did not unlock

Confirm the device is online and signed into the Apple Account used for the purchase. Then open Settings in Uni, select a locked color, and choose Restore. You will not be charged again for restoring the same purchase.

My score is not appearing on a leaderboard

Confirm that Game Center is signed in, the Supporter Pack is unlocked, and the device has an internet connection. Reopen Uni and view the leaderboard again after a short wait.

The Daily Challenge is unavailable

Check the device’s internet connection and reopen the game. If a previously downloaded challenge is available, Uni may continue using that challenge until it can reach the service again.

I cannot hear the game

Use the music button in Uni to make sure audio is enabled, then check the device volume and Silent Mode setting.

The game closed or is not responding

Close Uni completely, reopen it, and confirm that iOS or iPadOS is up to date. If the problem continues, send support your device model, operating-system version, app version, and what happened immediately before the issue.
