Across the rooftops to the radio mast.

Arrow keys or A and D run, and W, up or space jumps. On a phone, hold either side of the screen to run that way and swipe up to jump. P pauses.

How it plays

Two rooftop runs across downtown, and they loop with faster drones once you clear both. Cassette tapes are twenty points each and a drone flattened from above is fifty. The radio mast at the end of a level is two hundred more, plus a spare life, up to five in hand. Touch a drone from any other angle and you lose one.

The jump is most of the game and it forgives a little. Holding the button jumps higher than tapping it. A press within a tenth of a second of running off a ledge still counts, and one made just before landing is kept for the moment you touch down. Falling off the roofs costs a life; the run restarts at the start of the level with your tapes kept.
