Instructions
Switchback Sprint
A rally car climbs a zigzag mountain road and one tap flips its diagonal. Turn at every corner, scoop the coins on the apexes, and skim the edge for a CLOSE bonus. Leave the tarmac and it is over.

Maker’s note
The car and the road share a slope, so when you turn exactly on the corner nothing changes and the whole skill is in the timing. Turn a little late and you drift toward the edge, turn a little early and you can pay it back on the next bend. Roads are seeded, so a daily run is one specific mountain, and the scenery climbs from forest to rock to snow as you go.
