Step

- Clear the obstacles walls, platforms, and gaps all stand between you and the finish.
- Reach the end making it to the goal earns you a win and keeps your run alive.
- Avoid the tornado getting hit ends your run on the spot.

What pets do and how to get them
TipsSpeed is the main stat pets affect, and that directly decides how easily you stay ahead of the tornado. You earn pets by playing and collecting in-game rewards, or by spending in-game currency. Levelling a pet up makes its effect stronger, and having several pets lets their bonuses stack.
- Pets increase your speed, making it easier to outrun the tornado.
- You collect pets through gameplay rewards and in-game currency.
- Levelling up a pet strengthens its effect.
- Owning multiple pets lets you stack their speed bonuses on top of each other.
- New pets become available as you unlock new worlds.
Unlocking new worlds
CheckThe game opens new worlds one at a time as you earn more wins. Each world raises the difficulty, and each one also introduces pets you cannot get anywhere else.
- You have enough wins banked to meet the next world's requirement.
- You are prepared for harder obstacles; difficulty climbs with every world you open.
Getting past a section you keep failing
Step- Check your pets if your speed is low, upgrade or collect more pets before attempting the section again.
- Replay the course clearing the same stage multiple times builds familiarity with the obstacles.
- Adjust your timing if a specific spot keeps failing, change the point at which you attempt it rather than repeating the same attempt.
