01
How a round works
Step
In short
Every round is a single run that ends when a nextbot catches you, so your only job is to keep moving.
When a round begins, nextbots start chasing you automatically. You run, dodge, and use the map's buildings and obstacles to stay out of reach. The round ends the moment a nextbot catches you, and then your coin and XP payout is calculated based on how long you survived.
- Use the environment buildings and other obstacles can break a nextbot's line on you and buy extra seconds.
- Start a new run after a round ends you jump straight into the next one.
02
Coins, XP, and levelling up
SummaryIn short
Surviving longer earns more coins and XP.
At the end of each round you receive coins and XP scaled to your survival time. Coins are spent in the store on cosmetic items like trails and nametags. XP builds up over multiple rounds and earns you rewards each time you level up.
- Coins spent in the store on appearance items; they have no effect on gameplay.
- XP accumulates across rounds and triggers rewards each time you reach a new level.
- Store open it with Q to browse trails, nametags, and other cosmetics.
- Cosmetics only nothing sold in the store changes how fast you move or how long you survive.

Streaks and special rounds
Tips
In short
Keeping your streak alive and clearing special rounds push your rewards higher.
Two systems on top of normal rounds can push your earnings higher. Streaks reward you for lasting through consecutive rounds, and special rounds pay out double coins and XP when you clear them — though they are harder than a standard run.
Tips worth knowing
- Press Y to see your current streak and the bonus multiplier it carries.
- Special rounds are more difficult than normal ones, but clearing them doubles your coin and XP payout.

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend money to keep up with other players?
No. Everything sold in the store is cosmetic — trails, nametags, and similar items that change how your character looks but do not affect speed or survival.
What happens when a nextbot catches me?
The round ends and you receive the coins and XP you earned for however long you survived. You can then start a fresh round immediately.
How do I earn more coins per round?
Survive longer. Coins and XP scale with your survival time. Keeping a streak going and clearing special rounds also raise your earnings.
