What the score measures

The draw is honest: chiseled stone, a readable runner, and a HUD that keeps score, best, distance, and gems in four boxes. The pickup pill under the HUD always shows which modifier is running. Magnet is greed; Shield is recovery; Slow is a thinking tool; Hyper is a dare that will still drop you into a chasm. Touch swipes are the native language of the game. Keyboard is crisp if you commit to A/D for lanes and Space for jumps. It will not replace a console runner with analog tilt. It will replace a five-minute tab you meant to close.

How to push a personal best

Stay in the middle lane until the cavern gets noisy, then commit early to a side rather than panic-swiping under an arch. Jump rocks, duck arches, and never trust a shield over a gap. Take Magnet on a gem run. Take Shield before a dense rock/arch stretch, not after you are already inside it. Slow is for reading a mixed pack. Hyper is for a clean stretch — two-times speed tunnels through short hazards if you hesitate. Bank every hundred gems; a free Shield is worth more than a greedy Hyper if the next chunk is a chasm. Continues are for a personal-best distance. Distance is the trophy; gems are how greedy you were on the way down.
