More about this game
Your goal is to survive as long as possible and achieve a high score while rolling through changing environments like the City, Forest, and Ruins. You must swipe to shift between a three-by-three grid of lanes and rows, dodging spikes and zombies that accelerate over time. The difficulty ramps up constantly as your base scroll speed of 530 increases by 18 every second. A run ends immediately if you crash into a spike or a zombie without an active shield.
Tips
- Prioritize grabbing the freeze power-up, as it slows down the scroll speed to 58 percent and instantly grants 40 bonus points.
- A shield protects you from a crash, but taking a hit reduces your remaining shield duration by 2.5 seconds, so still try to dodge.
- The magnet power-up pulls in coins and other items from a radius of 250, making it much easier to collect resources while staying safe.
