▶ PLAY NOW

Controls

• Touch: Drag anywhere — your character follows your finger across the road (left/right, plus a little depth).
• Desktop: Move with WASD or the arrow keys.
• Sahur Mode: tap your character, or press Space, once the meter is charged.
• Pause: press P · Mute: press M.

Core loop

1. Dodge & collect — weave through enemies and bombs while grabbing coins and power-ups.
2. Build a kill-combo — attack enemies (Sahur projectiles, bonk, stomp) to chain kills for bonus coins and "Killing Spree → Legendary" milestones.
3. Unleash Sahur Mode — your ultimate; it fires projectiles that clear the brainrot.
4. Beat the boss — each stage ends with one of 13 brainrot bosses; win to spin for a permanent run perk.
5. Bank & upgrade — spend coins on 30+ upgrades, 40+ unlockable abilities and 13 character skins.

Tips for a high score

• Keep your kill-combo alive — getting hit resets it (buy Combo Keeper to soften that).
• Buy Extra Hearts early — survivability is what lets you reach bosses and big payouts.
• Save Sahur Mode for dense waves or to delete a boss volley.
• Try the Daily Run — everyone plays the same seeded world, so it's a fair competition.
• Do your Daily Challenge and grab the first-win-of-the-day coin bonus.
