How a round goes

Forty-five seconds. Each tap of the stick is one hop, in any of the four directions. Three lanes of traffic, a median to catch your breath on, and three more lanes: a crossing needs three lanes clear in your column at the same moment.

Reach the far side and you score and reappear at the start. Get squashed and you lose a moment and reappear at the start too. There are no lives, only the clock.

Scoring and winning

One point per crossing. Most at the buzzer wins; ties share. Alone, your crossings go to the leaderboard.

Tips

  • The gaps are uneven on purpose. Wait for the wide one rather than the next one.
  • Cars honk only when one is actually bearing down on you. That is your cue to move.
