Game information[edit | edit source]
Each character automatically runs, and will increase their running speed the longer they survive, starting slow when the game starts and increasing their speed at certain points.
Each character carries a pole that they will move downwards in an arc when the player taps and holds the screen, the character pushing the pole downwards as long as the player keeps their finger on the screen. When the pole is pushed downwards on a surface, the pole will stay in its position and the player will hold on to the pole and be pushed up into the air, moving in an arc.
The character immediately drops and moves their pole diagonally up when the player lifts their finger from the screen. The player will die when impacting a hazard, falling of the stage, or impacting a platform. While the player starts
The difference between characters is only aethsetic; each character has a different appearance, a different dieing animation, and different groans when dieing. One character has a unique pole.
