Tips and tricks

  • Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
  • Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
  • Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
  • Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
  • Because this is a Obstacle game, react to the obstacle after the one in front of you.
  • Because this is a Running game, look at the middle distance rather than right in front of you.
