You never steer and you never jump. You only speed up, coast, and brake. The machine moves on its own rhythms — read them, and time your arrival so every moving part is safe when you reach it. The brake matters as much as the throttle.
Throttle: hold ↑ / W / Space, or hold the mouse / tap the top of the screen.
Brake: hold ↓ / S, right-click, or tap the bottom of the screen. Let go to coast.
Goal: reach the finish. Each obstacle is safe only part of the time — you can see its rhythm. Arrive in the safe moment. Often the smart move is to slow down or stop and wait, then go.
You have momentum, so plan ahead — you can't stop instantly. Crashing just sends you back to the last checkpoint. Beat your best time and clear a level with no crashes for a ✦ badge.
