More about this game
In this endless runner, your goal is to survive as long as possible while jumping over randomly generated boxes. The core loop involves watching the upcoming obstacles and timing your hops to clear them safely while grabbing gold coins suspended in the air. The difficulty scales up continuously, with your initial running speed of 320 gradually increasing to a maximum cap of 460. A run ends instantly the moment your cat collides with any part of a box.
Tips
- Boxes spawn every 1.45 to 1.95 seconds, so prepare for varied gaps between jumps instead of relying on a steady rhythm.
- Your jump velocity is fixed at negative 650 with heavy gravity, meaning you will fall back to the ground very quickly.
- Since the running speed caps at 460, the game eventually plateaus in difficulty, allowing you to settle into a fast but consistent reaction pattern.
Questions
How is the score calculated?
You earn exactly one point for every box you successfully pass. The score updates the moment the back edge of the box moves past the 99-pixel mark on the screen.
Do the coins increase my main score?
No, collecting gold coins does not add to your box-clearing score. Coins are tracked separately in your overall best stats, adding a visual spark effect when grabbed.
Can I revive my cat if I hit a box?
Yes, if you crash into an obstacle, you have a 15-second window to watch a rewarded ad. This allows you to continue your current run from the exact same score.
