A practical guide to Endless Runner

An endless distance challenge, no final win level.

Try a more deliberate round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

The goal to keep in mind

Run as far as possible before a collision. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The playing sequence

  1. Start auto-running.
  2. Jump approaching obstacles.
  3. Land in time for the next jump.
  4. Restart after a collision.

Input guidance

Jump button, game-area touch or keyboard jump. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example before you play

Jump slightly before reaching the obstacle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.

Where a round can go wrong

Jumping without timing can land directly on the next obstacle. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
