Player can tap the screen to jump over the obstacles, and tap again for double jump! The player controls two characters at the same time—the one on the surface and its reflection. When the main character jumps, its reflection jumps as well. In the same manner, both obstacles on the surface and obstacle reflections count as well. Every coin has two sides. Don’t forget the refection on your way! Gameplay - Tap screen to jump over the obstacles; - Tap again to double jump when character is in the air; - Collect gems to unlock new characters; - Game is over when the player hits an obstacle. Features - Controlling two characters at the same time makes the game more challenging and interesting; - The obstacles that are designed to go with its respective background music is not only gameplay-wise, but also theme-wise; - Continuous background music creates an endless runner feeling instead of cutting tracks and moving to levels.
