Explain

Registering

When a new player downloads the game and starts it up they are met with a login. And at this point they have not yet made an account anywhere. The way registering to play the game works is you pick a new login and password that does not exist. Obviously the game will tell you if the name you want is in use already. Once you have established your new name, the game starts and any time you come back, provided you remember your password, you can use the game as the user previously 'registered'.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard is a list of the top 10 players by how many coins in one try they have gotten.

Gold

The main currency in the game is, predictably, gold. It is used to purchase things like the last hi-score and skins. You can also give gold to other players (see /help for instructions).

Skins

Skins are items that you can buy with in-game currency (gold, of course!) and you can see the list of skins by doing /listskins. When you find one you want to preview, do '/previewskin ' for example if you wanted to preview the 'blue' skin you would do '/previewskin blue' and if you wanted to buy and use it, you would do '/buy skin blue' then '/skin blue'. Once you own a skin you can change to it any time with the /skin command!

Jumps

You get 4 jumps but you have to time them right. There is an indicator that will help you figure out when but the idea is to jump again at the top of your last jump and before you start falling.

Coins

Every time you pickup a coin, along with spawning the next platform, your speed and jump height increase along with the distance and height of the next platform. They also give you gold. Double whatever level you are.

Platforms

When spawned, platforms are randomly placed at a set minimum / maximum distance and height. No, they never stop spawning as long as you keep making the jumps.

Console

The main input is the Console and using commands. The first and most important one to know is '/help'. Use /help in-game to get a listing of the current commands.

Install

  1. Download the latest version for your operating system
