Thread: how to play and strategy
Follow the laser. Dodge bombs, collect bonuses, and take on Today’s Track.
How to play
Choose Today’s Track, a track from the archive, or create your own. Drag left and right with your finger or mouse, or hold the left/right arrow keys, to keep your tracker on the laser. Use Pause or Escape to take a break.
Rules and progression
Stay on the laser to keep your energy up as the pace builds. Collect fruit and power-ups, grow your tracker with Growth Orbs, and dodge bombs. Everyone plays the same daily course, with a new track at midnight Pacific time.
Eligible daily runs can join the shared leaderboard. Create and share custom tracks for your own challenges. Settings, earned cosmetics, achievements, and personal bests save in this browser, separately from the installed app.
Practice plan: learn a bend before chasing a bonus
Use one attempt to watch the laser’s bends instead of aiming for every collectible. Notice where a change of direction leaves little recovery time. On the next attempt, begin the sideways movement earlier and collect a nearby bonus only when you can return to the laser. Replaying the same daily or archive track lets you compare timing against the same course.
Plan your next move
- Look slightly ahead of the tracker. Reacting only to its current position makes sharp bends harder to anticipate.
- Treat bombs as route constraints. A shortcut toward a collectible may cost more than it earns.
- Try a custom track to practice a pattern, then return to Today’s Track for the shared challenge.
