Sprint Mash

Race 100 metres by tapping Left and Right in turn. Beat three rival runners and set your fastest time.

How to play

  1. Tap Left and Right buttons one after the other to make your runner stride. The race starts with your first tap.
  2. Each alternating tap carries you forward. Tapping the same side twice in a row is a stumble that costs ground.
  3. Three rival runners race at steady speeds. Cross the line ahead of them for a better place.
  4. On a keyboard use the Left and Right arrow keys, or A and L.

Tips and strategy

  • Find a steady rhythm. Speed that makes you repeat a side loses more than it gains.
  • Use two fingers, one on each button, rather than tapping with a single finger.
  • Watch your own lane, not the rivals, so you do not break your rhythm.
  • The fastest rival needs about twelve and a half seconds, so aim to stay under that.

FAQ

What counts as a stumble?
Pressing the same side twice in a row. You lose a little distance and your rhythm, so stay alternating.
How is my score measured?
Your score is your finishing time in seconds, and a lower time is better.
Does tapping faster always help?
Only if you keep alternating sides. Fast tapping that repeats a side makes you stumble.
