Maker’s note
Every obstacle sits on the beat grid, and the track is cut from the run's seed, so a daily run is the same level for everyone. The tempo creeps up the longer you last. Jumping within a hair of the beat gives a PERFECT and builds a combo. Distance and perfect beats make the score. Pits are too wide for a plain jump: hold to glide. A pad bounces you over a tall wall, so do not jump near one.

The Indie Pocket era, 2015–2019
Flat pastel colour, chunky friendly shapes and a hop that squashes when it lands: short runs that fit in a pocket.
