A ball, a series of dunes and a single input that means dive. Held on a downslope it converts height into speed; released at the crest it becomes a jump. Everything in the game follows from that: a good run is a chain of well-timed dives that keeps converting the terrain into more speed, and a bad one is a single mistimed landing that kills the momentum you spent three dunes building. Over a hundred and forty stages and a long list of skins sit on top, but the mechanic never changes and never needs to. It is one of those games where the ceiling is far above where the tutorial leaves you.
| Hold Space or Up | Dive, gaining speed on a downslope |

| Release | Leave the ground at the crest |
| Touch | Press and hold, then lift |
How to play Curve Rush
- Hold through the downslope and release at the top. That single rhythm is the whole game.
- Land on a downward face, never a rising one. Landing uphill stops everything.
- Keep the jumps low early in a run. Height looks impressive and costs the speed you need later.
- Read the next dune while you are still in the air, because the landing decision has to be made before you arrive.
- Restart when the momentum is gone. Grinding along at low speed rarely recovers.
Tips
- Speed compounds, so the first three dunes matter more than the next ten.
- A shallow angle into a dune preserves more momentum than a steep one, even though it feels slower.
- Skins are cosmetic, so never risk a run collecting for one.
Questions about Curve Rush
How many controls are there?
One. Hold to dive and release to launch.
How many levels are there?
Around a hundred and forty, with skins unlocked along the way.
What ends a run?
Landing badly enough to lose momentum, or crashing on a rising face.
Is it playable on a phone?
Yes, it is a single press and it suits touch well.
Does the ball ever speed up on its own?
No, all speed comes from how you use the terrain.
Why does my run suddenly slow to nothing?
Almost always a landing on a rising slope. It converts your speed into nothing and there is no way to build it back on flat ground.
