Test your reflexes as you avoid and dodge around an endless stream of obstacles and narrow passages to move through. Dragging your finger anywhere on the screen will move you around, as time goes on the speed will start to pick up. You'll need to react quickly to keep up with the obstacles being thrown at you. Compete for the top spot on the online leaderboard either in total distance traveled, or in longest continuous distance traveled without touching a wall. Do you have the reflexes to take the number one spot?
