Touchscreen devices

Game Play
Stay as close to the center of the path as you can.
Your character automatically moves forward (or, technically, the screen continuously moves downward).
Avoid all the obstacles and monsters in your way.
If you hit any obstacle or leave the path, it’s game over.
Vertical navigation
If you are on a clear part of the path you can move slightly higher on the screen so that you have more time to work your way through more complex parts of the path.
If you are on a complex part of the path the vertical screen movement still moves at the same rate even though you have to move left and right to evade obstacles and move along the path, which will pull you down the screen vertically.
Pausing motion
If you release your click or tap, you will pause the game.
Your score is based on the distance you traveled.
Your current score is shown at the top right of the screen
Each time you reach a score milestone or play a number of times, you unlock a new feature to navigate in.
