Tips and tricks
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Because this is a Halloween game, seasonal games often have hidden bonuses in the decorations.
- Because this is a Running game, look at the middle distance rather than right in front of you.
