How rings and the 8-minute limit work together
SummaryThe goal of each stage is to reach the end by jumping through a series of rings. Clearing a stage earns you coins. Because the timer covers all stages at once, the time you spend struggling on one stage directly eats into the time left for the rest.
- Core task jump through rings in order to reach each stage's goal.
- Timer scope one 8-minute window covers all stages.
- Coin reward completing a stage adds coins to your total every single time.
- Retry freedom you can attempt a stage as many times as you need.
Tips for getting through early stages
TipsThe first stages keep ring placement simple and forgiving. Focus on building a steady rhythm rather than sprinting and stumbling.
- Keep your eyes on the next ring, not the one you just passed.
- Rings at the same height in a row take the same jump timing, so once you nail it once, repeat it.
- If you fall, just restart that stage — each attempt teaches you the layout.
- Watch your coin total grow after each clear; steady completion is how you earn customisation options.
Pushing through harder stages
CheckLater stages add more obstacles and more complex ring arrangements. The layout is fixed every run, so repetition genuinely pays off.
- Identify the exact spot where you keep failing and repeat only that section until it clicks.
- Map out a route through each stage's rings before trying to run it at full speed.
- Budget your 8 minutes estimate how long your problem stages take.
- Check that your chosen mutator isn't blocking your camera or making movement feel sluggish.

Common questions
FAQI keep running out of time before I finish all the stages. What should I do?
Practise each stage on its own until you know the ring layout by heart. Once a stage feels automatic, you stop losing seconds to hesitation.
Do I need to pay for Premium to enjoy the game?
No — every stage is playable for free, and both effects and mutators can be bought with coins you earn just by completing stages. Premium only doubles how fast your coin total grows.
What happens if I fall off a stage?
You can retry as many times as you need. The only cost is the time a failed attempt takes out of your 8-minute window.
