How the game works

The game is inspired by SkiFree and supports mouse, arrow keys and touch according to its original entry. Choose the input that fits the current device before building speed.

A decision to watch

Escape pauses the game. The creator also warns that the browser should be refreshed after rotating the screen on mobile, so note that before changing orientation mid-run.

Try a first session

The goal is distance rather than a single fixed route. Observe how the character turns at the beginning, then leave room for a correction as the pace increases.

BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE TAB

What happens to your progress?

A portable save or mid-run resume is not established by the reviewed instructions. Check the game’s own menu before clearing its browser data.
