VORTEX RUN

THE OBJECTIVE

Race down a neon tube that twists and spins around you. Slide between lanes to thread the gaps, jump the bars, grab orbs and skim walls for close-call combos as the speed climbs. Every fifth level the Warden waits at the end of the tunnel.

HOW TO SCORE

• Ride the inside of a neon tube at full speed. ← → (or A/D, the buttons, or a drag) slide you around the tube, and the whole tunnel turns with you.
• Walls block their lanes, so steer into a gap. Low bars run all the way round: jump them with Space, ↑ or the Jump button. Spinning walls turn as they come at you.
• Collect orbs and skim past walls for close calls to build your combo; the multiplier rises every six. A crash costs a shield and your combo, and slows you for a moment.
• Every level is faster and denser. Every fifth level the Warden waits at the end of the tube: collect its charge orbs to strike it until it breaks, and win back a shield. Three shields to start, five at most.
