More about this game
Your goal is to survive as long as possible while running through a shadowy corridor. The core loop involves flipping gravity to switch between the floor and the ceiling, dodging hazardous silhouettes like spikes, swinging blades, and slamming blocks. The difficulty increases as your run speed ramps up from 760 to a maximum of 1180 over time, giving you less time to react. A run ends immediately when you collide with any obstacle, shattering your creature into ink.
Tips
- Try to trigger near misses by passing very close to obstacles. This builds a score multiplier up to 4x and adds an immediate bonus of 10 times your current multiplier.
- Check the shop info panel frequently. You have a 25 percent chance to find a boost that doubles your shard collection for the next 18 seconds of your run.
- Watch out for shadow cores while collecting. They have a 7.5 percent chance to spawn instead of a regular shard and will grant you two shards instead of one.
Questions
How does the scoring system work?
Your score increases based on the distance you travel. Every 500 points, you reach a milestone that plays a sound. You can also boost your score by getting near misses, which activates a multiplier for 5.2 seconds.
What can I buy with the shards I collect?
You can spend your shards in the shop to unlock cosmetic trails for your creature. The Fire Spark trail costs 40 shards, and the Void Pulse trail costs 110 shards. You can equip them before starting a run.
Do the obstacles always stay on the floor or ceiling?
No, some obstacles like floating orbs and swinging blades can spawn in the middle lane. You will need to time your gravity flips carefully to pass over or under them without taking a hit.
