Crowd Rush
A 3D crowd runner on a floating track. Your swarm of little runners moves forward on its own and you drag left or right to steer it. Gates come in pairs: +10, x2, -5, divide by 2. Walk the crowd through the side with the better result and it pops bigger, pick the wrong side and it shrinks. Forks split the track into two narrow planks over a cliff, so you must commit to one lane. Saw blades and swinging bars kill a few runners, small enemy groups fight your crowd automatically (the bigger group wins and the winner loses as many runners as the loser had), and a boss with a number waits at the end. If your crowd is bigger than the boss number you smash it, otherwise you lose. A run ends only when the crowd reaches zero or you beat the boss. There are 25 levels: the first three are plain gate pairs, then forks and enemy groups, then blades, bridges and sweeper bars, and bigger bosses. Stars (1 to 3) depend on how many runners you have left at the finish. Coins buy eight outfits with colours, hats, crowns and hair. After a loss the game shows how many you were short and lets you retry at once, and after a win it shows what the other gate would have given. The Daily level and friend rooms use one seeded track for everybody, and rooms rank by crowd left at the finish.
How to play
- Touch the lower half of the screen and drag left or right to steer the crowd. Lift your finger and the crowd stays where it is.
- Pick the gate with the better result. Check the number over your crowd: x2 on 20 runners gives 40, but +30 gives 50.
- Steer around saw blades and swinging bars, and at a fork drag to the lane you want before the planks start.
- At the end your crowd fights the boss. Arrive with more runners than the boss number to win.
Tips
- Add things up before you pick: multiplying is best on a big crowd, adding a big number is best on a small crowd.
- A fight costs as many runners as the enemy group has. If the group sits on one side, steer to the other side and skip it.
- Pick the better gate several times in a row to build a combo and earn extra coins.
- A big crowd takes up more room, so it is harder to squeeze between two blades. Start lining up early.
- Replay earlier levels for three stars: you need almost every runner you could have kept.
Questions
How do I steer?
Touch the lower half of the screen and drag left or right. On a keyboard use the arrow keys or A and D.
When does a run end?
When your crowd reaches zero, or when you reach the end and fight the boss. If your crowd is bigger than the boss number you win, otherwise you lose.
How do stars work?
You always get one star for beating the boss. Two and three stars depend on how many runners are left after the boss fight compared with the best possible run of that level.
What do the coins buy?
Eight skins: Sunny is free, then Berry, Mint, Sky, Grape, Coral, Snow and Gold with different outfit colours, hats and hair. They only change how your crowd looks.
What is the Daily level?
A level that is the same for everybody on a given day. Beat it on consecutive days to grow your streak and earn a first-time bonus.
Can friends play?
Yes. A room runs the same seeded track for everyone and ranks players by how many runners they have left at the finish.
