Strategy

Success hinges on three core habits. First, Collect the nearest triangle and map out a safe route before you sprint. Second, Avoid the moving walls and rotating spikes by timing your jumps a split‑second earlier than they appear. Third, treat each level as a puzzle: the hardest sections are rarely about speed, they’re about reading patterns. When a segment feels impossible, pause, watch the obstacle rhythm, and then commit. Repeating the same mistake is the fastest way to waste time, so reset quickly and adjust your angle. As you progress, the layout becomes increasingly Difficult, demanding tighter Skill and sharper reflexes. Keep an eye on hidden shortcuts; a well‑placed dash can shave seconds off your run and open up a safer path to the next triangle.
