Something to practise
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Run as far as possible before a collision. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The playing sequence
- Start auto-running.
- Jump approaching obstacles.
- Land in time for the next jump.
- Restart after a collision.
How your actions work
Jump button, game-area touch or keyboard jump. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example before you play
Jump slightly before reaching the obstacle. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Notice this detail
Jumping without timing can land directly on the next obstacle. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
