Endless Runner: how a round works
Bring your attention to one round of Endless Runner. Run as far as possible before a collision. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
An endless distance challenge, no final win level.
One thing to notice as you play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The challenge in front of you
Run as far as possible before a collision. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

A closer look at one example
Jump slightly before reaching the obstacle. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
Where a round can go wrong
Jumping without timing can land directly on the next obstacle. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
