How to play

Jump over what comes at you. That is the entire input. As the run continues the spacing tightens and the anticipation has to start earlier.

DriftBoss Tips

01Anticipate rather than react — by the time an obstacle looks close it already is.
02Find the beat and stop watching the screen so hard; it is closer to a rhythm game than a reflex one.
03Do not double-tap in a panic. A second jump lands you into the next obstacle.
04Restart quickly after a loss; the rhythm is easier to hold when it is fresh.

About Skip It!

Skip It! belongs to the single-button endless family, where the design work goes into the acceleration curve rather than into variety.

Runs are short at first and get much longer as the timing settles, which is the characteristic shape of this genre.

FAQ

How many controls does Skip It! have?

One. A click, a tap or the space bar all do the same jump; there is nothing else to press.

Why do I keep failing at the same speed?

That is where reaction stops being fast enough and anticipation has to take over. It is a change of method, not of skill.

Is there a level structure?

No, it is a single endless run that accelerates.
