Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)
Default to the Center: Whenever the tracks open up, stay in the middle lane. It gives you the best vantage point and cuts your reaction time in half when choosing to dodge left or right.
Don't Hoard Your Hoverboards: Don't wait until it's too late. Trigger your hoverboard during high-speed sections or when you get boxed in by oncoming trains.
Prioritize Multipliers: Focus heavily on upgrading your score multipliers early on. It makes every meter you run worth significantly more points.
When in Doubt, Roll: In hyper-fast sections, rolling under a barrier is statistically safer than jumping, as jumping leaves you airborne and vulnerable for longer.

Tips for Crushing Your High Score in London
As the game speeds up, a split-second mistake can end a massive run. Use these insider strategies to keep going:
Always follow the coin trails! The game naturally designs coin paths to guide you toward the safest movement routes through chaotic train grids.
Default to the Center: Remain in the middle lane whenever the tracks open up. When deciding whether to dodge left or right, it provides you with the optimal viewpoint and halves your reaction time.
Don't Wait Until It's Too Late: Don't hoard your hoverboards. When you are surrounded by approaching trains or in high-speed parts, activate your hoverboard.
Prioritize Multipliers: Put a lot of effort into improving your score multipliers as soon as possible. Every meter you run gains a lot more points as a result.
When in Doubt, Roll: Because jumping keeps you airborne and exposed for a longer period of time, rolling beneath a barrier is statistically safer than jumping in really rapid sections.
Grab Every Jetpack: Jetpacks are the ultimate safety net. They launch you into the sky, completely removing risk while vacuuming up free coins.
