Glimmer Run

Follow the glint. Leave a little room to turn.

Follow the glint. Leave a little room to turn.

A pocket-sized rover rolls beneath a falling trail of copper-coloured gold. Collect the coins while keeping clear of the tumbling stones. The round is brief, but the useful decision keeps changing: take the tempting centre line, or leave yourself a safer way out?

01

Steer the rover

Drag across the scene, point with a mouse, or hold either direction button. The rover follows your chosen line.

02

Gather the coins

Each collected gold coin adds ten points. There is no spending screen and no exchange value.

03

Protect three shields

Every stone costs one shield. The run ends after 45 seconds or when the last shield is gone.

A useful second attempt

Avoid parking at the very edge of the field. A little room on both sides gives you more options when two stones arrive together. If a coin and a stone are close, it is usually better to preserve a shield than to squeeze through a narrow gap. A steady run often beats an ambitious one that ends in its first ten seconds.

Start with a short practice round and give yourself permission to miss. The score measures this attempt, not your progress as a player. Pause with the pause button or P, then resume when you are ready. Restart begins a fresh round and clears the current result.
