Your character automatically starts running. To jump, left click with your mouse, tap on the touchscreen with your fingers, or press the space bar.

Basic Gameplay Advice

Evade the bear for as long as you can. Keep your distance by jumping over any of the obstacles you can trip over, be it sticks, artifacts, snakes, or pits. Collect coins and power ups along the way.

You begin each session with Each time you fall or trip over items, you lose a life. Each time you lose a life, you begin with a shield but the bear moves closer. Lose all your lives and the bear mauls you horribly: game over.

Power ups come in boxes and provide you with a benefit that lasts for a few seconds. There are five types:

• The star lets you fly,
• The shield allows you to pass through obstacles unharmed.
• The magnet allows you to collect nearby coins without touching them
• The times two coin lets you collect coins at twice the value.
• The lightning bolt lets you move faster.

You can upgrade your power ups using the coins you collect to make them last longer. Leveling up power ups has a ramping cost.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Choose which power up to collect and upgrade depending on your immediate goals. The star is usually better in most cases as it allows you fly over most of the obstacles. If your goal is to upgrade, the coin magnet or the times two coin to earn more.

In practice, the power ups you collect will depend on which is easier to reach. In some cases, though, you’re probably better off skipping some power ups you might encounter. The lightning bolt may not be useful for you if you can’t evade obstacles well.

Your preferred usage should also be considered when choosing which power ups to level up. Power ups you prefer using should have precedence over those you seldom use.
