What playing this feels like

The frame is a standard forward runner, but the double jump changes its character. It opens up gaps that would otherwise be impossible, and it introduces a fresh way to die at the same time.

The commonest mistake is triggering the second jump too soon. The character lifts before the first arc has peaked, which caps the height and drops you into the middle of the gap. What trains it out is waiting until the rise feels like it is easing, then pressing — a judgement of feel rather than of counted time.

Since the pace climbs with distance, the window between those two presses keeps narrowing. That is where an ordinary attempt separates from a record one. Anyone who likes a game improved purely by rhythm practice, with nothing unlockable to soften it, will stay with this a while.
