    • Touchscreen devices

  • Game Play
    • Basic
      • Your runner automatically move forward after selecting start.
      • Collect as many boards as you can.
        • The moment you start running over the edge, your runner automatically starts laying down the boards to create a path.
        • When you run out of boards, your runner jump.
        • Direct your runner toward more boards whenever you find them.
        • If you fall into the water, it’s game over.
      • Be the first to run to the finish line.
        • Walk or land on any of the circles after the finish line to receive a multiplier bonus.
        • If you walked past a circle but ran out of planks before you can land on another one, your bonus will be based on the last circle you walked by.
    • Changing directions
      • It’s very difficult to stay in the path.
        • Left click or tap very gently to turn your character around a specific direction.
        • Click or tap and drag too hard and you will go too far.
      • The game favors straight paths, but to make that possible, you need more boards.
        • Your job, therefore, is to direct your runner to the path with the most boards.
    • Level features.
      • Most levels have trampoline platforms that, when you walk toward them, will let you jump across much of the level and bring you closer to the finish line.
      • Later levels have a spinning propeller that will dump you into the water, Wipeout-style, if you hit them.
    • Coins & upgrades
      • You win at least 200 coins each time you win the race.
        • If you finish in first place you get to spend your remaining wood you are carrying making your way out to score bonus pods. Your final coin winnings will rise depending on the multiplier you walk towards at the end of the race.
      • Winning second place will net you 50 coins.
      • Use your coins to customize your runner.
        • You can unlock 1 of any random 5 locked outfits for 7,500.
        • The cost of unlocking all 5 is 37,500.
        • Outfits and wood types change the aesthetics of the game but otherwise do not impact gameplay.
      • Wood upgrades
        • Each time you finish a level in first place you move on to the next level.
        • New board types are unlocked on level 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25.
        • Boards start as plain wood, then move on to other items like rainbows, money, pandas, and game controllers.
      • You can change your active board or your costume on their respective options in the welcome screen.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for people of all ages who like competitive running games.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
