Start a run

The lobby shows level progress, energy, coins, rewards, language, and account controls. Press Start to spend energy and enter the current level.

Clear only safe arrows

During a level, launch animal arrows that have a clear path. A blocked launch can cost lives, so the best move is often the safest visible move.

  • Read the board before tapping.
  • Use zoom when the board is dense.
  • Keep an eye on the route, not only the arrow you want.

Recover at the right time

Hints, freeze, revives, and extra time are most useful when the run is close. If the board is already lost, returning to the lobby can be the better choice.

How-to questions

What ends a run?

A run can end when time expires or when blocked moves use up your lives.

What does freeze do?

Freeze briefly slows the pace so you can read the board and clear more arrows.

Should I use hints early?

Usually no. Check the board first, then use a hint when you cannot find a safe launch.
