About the game
Jump and duck past New Zealand wildlife drawn in pixel art. Yes, you can lose to a sheep. Multiple times. It's fine.
It runs on the watch itself, not on your phone, and a game lasts about as long as you want it to: 19 hand-built levels if you want a target, or Endless Mode if you just want to see how far you get.
Two game modes
Level Mode
Nineteen hand-built levels that get harder as you go. Each one has diamonds in it, and how many you collect sets the one to three star rating. Shields, ledge climbing and parachute descents all turn up, and your best time on each level is kept.
Endless Mode
Randomly generated terrain that does not end. Diamonds you collect can be spent in the Diamond Shop, mid-run, on a slingshot, a bubble or an extra life. Every run goes to the leaderboard.
Power-ups and obstacles
Shield
One-hit protection that lets you plough through a single obstacle. Usually appears right before a massacre zone where you'll desperately need it.
Parachute
Slow descent from high ledges. Because falling 50 metres hurts.
Diamonds
Collect these sparkly beauties in Level Mode for star ratings. Going for 3 stars? Prepare to die a lot.
Wildlife
Dodge sheep, birds, rocks, and mystical blue mushrooms. They're adorable. They're also deadly.
Diamond Shop (Endless Mode)
Pause during Endless Mode to spend your collected diamonds on power-ups
Slingshot
Fire explosive grenades that destroy obstacles in their path. 10 shots per purchase.
Bouncing Bubble
Temporary invincibility inside a bouncing bubble. Stack multiple for extended protection.
Extra Life
Get back up after a hit. Stack multiple for even more chances to keep running.
