Issues get difficult fairly quick (I gave up my goals of leaderboard fame quick), however you may decide up some cash alongside the observe which you can spend on small upgrades between loops.

All of it’s useful, however except you’re good at slipping between hazards, you might not have the ability to afford a bonus each loop.

It’s additionally straightforward to hop proper again in once more, creating that enjoyable, compelling depth that retains bringing you again.
