Earlier this year Eliss, one of the iPhone’s original indie hits, got a major upgrade with Eliss Infinity — and now the experience is finally available to Android users.

Infinity adds in welcome new features like early-collision detection and a challenging new endless mode. “It’s the Eliss I wish I could have released on day one,” creator Steph Thirion said when it launched.
Along with finally coming to Android, Eliss Infinity has also received its first major update. There are achievements to earn and a large number of gameplay tweaks, as well as some tutorial changes that should make it easier to pick up for brand new players.

You can pick up Eliss Infinity now from Google Play for $2.99.
