What counts as success
Run as far as possible before a collision. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Start here and follow along
- Start auto-running.
- Jump approaching obstacles.
- Land in time for the next jump.
- Restart after a collision.
Making selections and moves
Jump button, game-area touch or keyboard jump. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Try this example
Jump slightly before reaching the obstacle. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Jumping without timing can land directly on the next obstacle. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
