Scamper

🏃 Runner

You always run forward. Tap the right side to jump. To slow down and get a better look, put a thumb on the left side and slide it back — but let go before you jump, because a slow run makes a short jump and wide gaps need all of it. You start each level a little slower and get up to speed after a few seconds, so there's time to see what's coming.

🕹️ Explorer

Put a thumb anywhere on the left side and slide it to run that way; let go to stop. Tap the right side to jump, and hold it to jump higher. Use both thumbs to run and jump at the same time. Explorer levels hide extra coins and a 💎 gem off the main path.
Prefer buttons? ⚙️ Settings → Controls → Buttons gives you ◀ ▶ and ⤴, and 🐢 to slow down in Runner.

⚡ Bolts, 🎁 blocks and 🪙 coins

Grab ⚡ bolts to run faster — get fast enough and you bank a free hit, shown as a ring around you. Jump up into a ? block from underneath for a shield or a coin magnet.
🪙 Coins are money. They stay with you between games, and after every level you can spend them on a shield, a head start, or an extra life.

🌈 Casual vs 🏆 Classic

Casual gives you endless tries from the last checkpoint flag — nothing is ever lost.
Classic gives you three lives and records your score. (Endless retries and a high score don't mix, so only Classic counts.)

👾 The grumps

Land on top of a grump to squash it and bounce. Touch one from the side and you'll get hurt — so jump!
