πŸš† The Commuter level

A cross-border commuter leaves Luxembourg after work and runs home. Five possible homes, further and harder each time: Arlon, Thionville and Trier first, then Metz, then Nancy for the stubborn. The best time to each city is kept.

How to play

From the start screen, the β€œCommuter” button, then your town’s card. Space or tap to jump, down arrow or swipe down to duck. Broken-down cars and stalled trains are platforms: jump onto them and run along the roof, where the coins are lined up; touching their side ends the run. Traffic-jam monsters walk towards you, customs drones bob up and down, and the speed rises every 250 m. Every € you grab takes 0.25 s off your time.
