Egypt Run: match each swipe to the barrier
Three different responses share a rapidly approaching course. Correctly identifying the obstacle is as important as reacting quickly: a slide and a jump solve different clearance problems.
Controls
Swipe Left/Right to change lanes. Swipe Up to jump. Swipe Down to slide. Tap UI buttons to enter the shop or settings.
Match each swipe to the barrier
Tap the "Play" button on the main menu to begin your sprint. Your character will run forward automatically. Your task is to guide them safely through the hazards. Swipe left or right on your screen to change lanes and avoid oncoming carts or stationary crates. When you encounter low fences or obstacles, swipe up to perform a jump. For higher barriers with a gap underneath, swipe down to slide safely through. As you run, focus on collecting the gold coins scattered across the marketplace.
These coins can be spent in the shop to buy items like the Magic Lamp. The Magic Lamp is crucial; if you hit an obstacle, you can spend a lamp to "Save Life" and continue from where you left off. The further you run, the faster the game becomes, so stay alert and keep your fingers ready!
Magic Lamp Revival
Use mystical Magic Lamps to save your life and continue your high-score run after a mistake.
In-Game Shop & Upgrades
Collect gold coins during your run to purchase extra lives and power-ups from the store.
Continue as far as possible through the course while avoiding collisions
Identify whether a barrier should be jumped, slid under or avoided in another lane before making the gesture. Choose a clear route before following a coin trail that leads toward an obstacle. As the run speeds up, read the next obstacle while finishing the current move.
Swiping up for every obstacle fails to account for barriers that require sliding. A continuation item may not be available, so do not plan a route around deliberately crashing.
This guide is based on the supplied game instructions.
