Avoid walls and obstacles. Every 25 points you level up: the scroll speed and wall frequency increase, so each run gets faster and harder. Features • Owl jump scare — An owl can appear from a tree and fly at you once or twice per level. Stay sharp. • Shield power-up — Grab the floating shield for temporary protection so you can survive one hit. • Parallax night run — Moon, clouds, mountains, trees, and grass scroll at different speeds for a simple, atmospheric run. • Optional spooky 8-bit music — Turn on the in-game track for a retro, creepy vibe, or play in silence. • Leaderboard — Sign in and compete for the highest score. • Cloud save — Your progress is saved so you can pick up on another device. One tap. One jump. How far can you run?
