Shifting Environments. The world can change as you're running. React in time to leap over collapsing buildings, moving scaffolding, and falling satellites.
World Select. There are eight additional challenges to play beyond the classic mode. Each one introduces a new twist on the formula.
Change Your Jump. You can tap lightly to barely jump, or tap long for a big leap.
What is it about?

Controls are simple allowing you jump across rooftops with a tap. Obstacles and distractions are everywhere, so keep your eyes peeled as you race for safety.
