Every obstacle requires perfect timing—one wrong step will cost you a life! GAME FEATURES: Arcade-Style Stage Runs: Progress through escalating, custom-crafted levels. Each stage brings tighter gaps, faster hazards, and ultimate room chaos! Collect & Spend Coins: Grab floating gold coins scattered precariously across the burning terrain as you run.
