We are back~ One exit. Ten seconds. Every landing counts. Guide the red runner from the entrance to the exit before time runs out. A white background, black platforms and a bright red character keep the route clear. The challenge comes from finding the right path and moving with precision. Tap for a low jump. Hold for a higher jump. Stages 1–3 teach hurdle jumps on solid ground; platforms begin at stage 4, with wider landings and a gentler first ten stages. Later courses combine moving lifts, sliding and rotating platforms, forward and reverse conveyor belts, slowdown zones, fireballs, fire rings, rotating fire lines and flying blades. Precise takeoffs, direction changes and landings matter more as the combinations get tighter. Some platforms begin to fall after a short delay once you step on them. Stage 18 introduces a chain of these platforms, with changing gaps and heights that ask you to switch between longer, shorter, higher and lower jumps. Learn the fixed layout and adjust your rhythm. Later stages combine falling platforms with other mechanisms, making each landing and the next takeoff count. THREE WAYS TO PLAY ON IPHONE AND IPAD • Trial: reach the exit within 10 seconds and improve your best time. • Practice: learn each route without a time limit. • Marathon: start at stage 1 and clear stages in sequence. Each stage still has a 10-second limit; improve your total time, including retries. STAGES AND PURCHASES Stages 1–50 on iPhone and iPad are free.
