Mossgate - How to Play

What you are doing

You steer a sprout cart down three moss lanes. Gates scroll toward you. Your bloom number starts at 2. The run lasts as long as you only take gates you can hold.

Gates

A plus gate adds its number to your bloom. A times-two gate doubles it, and the bloom stops at 99. A dew drop is safe when its number is your size or lower, and it adds one to the bloom. A thorn works the same way: equal or lower is a smash, taller is a crash.

Score

Distance ticks up on its own. Every cleared gate adds a bonus. A taller bloom does not replace the distance score. It only changes which gates you can survive.

Pace

The lanes speed up as the distance grows. Early on, change lanes with time to spare. Later, commit one lane early so a tall thorn does not meet you in the middle.
