THE GAME

You take on the role of a little lizard-like creature eating his way through the world. Luckily for you, there are plenty of smaller critters roaming the infinite expanse for your unending appetite.

But, beware! Also roaming the grasslands are shambling beasts seeking their own next meal.

It is a world of eat or be eaten, and you're in the middle of it all!

Watch the horizons for threats as you stalk, flank, and chase your prey across an invariably green and flowered landscape.

Use your ability to lunge forward with precision: used well, it can be both a meal ticket and a tool of escape, but use it poorly and it will scatter your prey and send you right into the jaws of fate.

TIPS AND ADVICE

• Do you see that little guy running around on the various out-of-game screens? You are controlling him, so feel free to practice controls and technique without the danger of running into baddies!
• Your little guy is constantly moving. To keep going straight, keep the device level. Tilting the device causes turning, and only leveling back out will stop it.
• There is a short grace period at the start of the game. It is just you and the little beasts!
• You can hold your finger down on the screen to keep lunging as quickly as possible. This is great for speed, but you lose out on a lot of control.
• Little beasts won't lunge away until you've scored 5 points. Big beasts will never lunge.
• All the other beasts will speed up slightly when you get close. This means the little beasts will be a bit harder to catch, and the big beasts will be a bit harder to run away from. Learn to expect this small speed change.
• The red and yellow flags on the border of the screen are for your benefit! They follow the position of a big beast. Avoid that direction.
• Clouds might be pretty, but they do not help you at all. In fact, they obscure your view of what is beneath, particularly when the clouds are clumped. Unless you're sure it is safe, it is often best practice to avoid passing under clouds.
• You can still turn slightly while lunging. While hard to master, it is worth knowing.
• Laying down while playing? Inverting the controls might make things easier.
