How to play
- Your crowd starts at 10 and runs forward. Steer left or right with the buttons, the arrow keys or by tapping a side of the track.
- Gates come in pairs. Plus adds to your crowd, minus takes some away, times multiplies it and divide shares it out. Green gates make the crowd bigger and red gates make it smaller.
- Work out which gate of the pair gives the bigger number, and move into its lane before the pair reaches you.
- At the end your crowd faces a rival crowd. If yours is bigger, you win. If your crowd drops to nothing on the way, the run is over.

Tips and strategy
- Do the sum for both gates, not just the colour: plus 20 beats times 2 when your crowd is under 20.
- Times 2 and times 3 get better the bigger your crowd already is, so protect a big crowd.
- A gate that takes away is sometimes the lesser evil when the other gate divides.
- Move early. Tapping a side of the track is quicker than the buttons.
FAQ
- Is there a trick to the gates?
- No trick. Every gate helps a bigger crowd more, so the gate that gives the bigger number right now is always the right one.
- Can I always win?
- Yes. The rival is sized from the best possible run, so choosing the bigger gate every time beats it comfortably.
- What is the best score?
- The biggest crowd you have finished a winning run with. It is saved on this device.
