About Coin Rush

Coin Rush is the fastest straightforward collector on the site and the one most people start with. You run right automatically over procedurally generated ground, jumping gaps and hazards while sweeping through coin lines laid out in arcs, zig-zags and long straight runs. What separates it from the other runners is the dash: a short burst of speed that also makes you briefly untouchable. It has a two and a half second cooldown, so it is a resource rather than a get-out-of-jail button, and learning when to spend it is most of what improves your scores.

How to play

1. Your collector runs right on its own. You never need to press a movement key to make progress.
2. Press Space, the up arrow or W to jump. Holding the button jumps higher; tapping it gives a short hop.
3. Press Shift to dash. You accelerate sharply and take no damage for about half a second.
4. Gaps in the ground are fatal. Every gap has a coin arc over it, and the arc traces the jump that clears it.
5. The speed climbs steadily for the first two minutes, then levels off. The run ends when you hit a hazard or fall.

How to collect coins in Coin Rush

Coins are picked up by touching them, and your collection radius is slightly wider than your body, so a near miss usually still counts. Coins come in three layouts here: straight lines along flat ground, arcs over gaps and zig-zags that need you to jump through the middle rather than over the top. The gem pockets, marked by a single purple gem with a short escort of coins on either side, sit higher than a normal jump and generally need you to launch from a raised step.

Power-ups in Coin Rush

Power-ups appear during a run and activate the moment you touch one. None of them can be bought, none carry over between runs, and collecting one you already have refreshes its duration rather than stacking it.

• MagnetPulls nearby coins, tokens and gems toward you for seven seconds. Treasure chests are never affected.
• ShieldAbsorbs one hit and then breaks. It saves the run, but the combo streak still resets.
• Double ValueDoubles the value of every collectible for eight seconds. Applies before the combo multiplier, so the two stack.
• Speed BoostRaises your maximum movement speed for five seconds.

How scoring works

Each coin is worth 10 points before multipliers, silver coins are worth double, and you earn one point per metre travelled. Because distance keeps paying even when there are no coins nearby, a long clean run beats a short greedy one.

Points for each pickup are its base value, multiplied by any active double-value effect, multiplied by your current combo tier. Distance and completion bonuses are awarded flat, outside that chain.

The combo system

The combo window here is 2.2 seconds. Tiers land at 5, 12, 22, 35 and 50 coins, topping out at a 6x multiplier. Coin lines are spaced so that staying on them holds the streak without any special effort — the streak breaks when you divert to a pocket you cannot reach in time, or when you take a hit.

Difficulty

Medium

Medium. The first thirty seconds are gentle and always open with a straight coin run. Hazard density and speed climb together, and by about the two minute mark the gaps are near the limit of what a single jump clears.

Tips for a better score

• Do not spend the dash on open ground. Save it for a gap that arrives just after a hazard, where a normal jump would not give you enough distance.
• Jump height is variable. Tap for low coin lines so you land sooner and keep your streak going; hold for the high arcs.
• Take the gem pocket only if you are already on a raised step. Dropping down to chase one almost always costs the combo.
• The magnet is worth more on the zig-zag sections than anywhere else, because it pulls in the coins on the far side of the pattern that you would otherwise have to weave for.
• When the speed gets high, look at the far right edge of the screen rather than at your collector. Your reaction window is roughly one screen width.
