How to play

The basics

The runner sprints automatically. Jump with Space/Up/W (or JUMP) to clear cacti. Duck with Down/S (or DUCK, hold) to slide under low pterodactyls. One hit ends the run; tap Restart for a new run. Best distance saves locally.

Objective:

Sprint as far as you can across the desert. Jump over cacti, duck under low-flying pterodactyls. Distance is your score; one hit ends the run.

Controls:

Keyboard: Space/Up/W = jump, Down/S (hold) = duck. Touch: JUMP, DUCK buttons. Buttons: Start, Restart.
