Read full descriptionHide full description
This is a hyper-casual game with simple controls where you avoid monsters flowing by and move as far away as possible. How to play: Aim to avoid monsters flowing by from above and move forward as far as possible to compete for points. You can get a higher score if you can move forward as far as possible without colliding with monsters. To move the player to the right or left, tap the screen once to move one lane. To move two lanes, tap the screen twice in succession. Features: The speed is not constant, and the further away you move, the faster it gets up to a certain speed, so it becomes more difficult. Online rankings are also implemented, so you can compete with many people for points.
