Level 9
Free, no sign-up, works offline.
Level 9 begins 2m 42s into a run. The world moves at 796 units a second, and obstacles arrive between 1.19 and 1.88 seconds apart — which at this speed means 944 units of clear ground at the tightest.
The numbers
| Starts at | 2m 42s |
|---|---|
| Speed | 796 units/s |
| Gap between obstacles | 1.19–1.88 s |
| Tightest gap, in units | 944 |
| Time an obstacle is on screen | 1,067 ms |
How long you actually have
An obstacle appears at the right edge and reaches you 1,067 ms later. That is the entire window to notice it, decide, and press. Of that, about 260 ms goes on reaction alone, leaving 305 ms of genuine slack at the tightest spacing this level allows. That slack is what shrinks as the levels climb — the reaction allowance itself never does, which is why the game stays fair however fast it gets.

Questions
How long does it take to reach level 9?
2m 42s of survival. The level changes on a timer, not on your score, so it arrives at the same moment in every run.
How fast is level 9?
796 units a second. The speed climbs continuously rather than stepping at each level, so this is the speed at the moment the level begins and it keeps rising throughout.
Is level 9 harder than the one before?
Slightly, in two ways: the world is moving faster, and the gap between obstacles may be a little tighter. The reaction allowance built into that gap is identical at every level, so what changes is the slack, not the fairness.
Every figure on this page is read from the game's own tuning and recomputed on each build, so it describes the game you are actually playing rather than a version of it that once existed.
