When you build a shortcut you’re going to start moving
faster. Not only are you cutting corners, you’re going to be sprinting over
them. The longer the shortcut, the more speed you’re going to pick up while you
run along it. you’re going to need enough tiles to make the, so don’t try
buildìng a massìve shortcut when you’ve only got a small stack of tiles to work
with.
When you run out of tiles you’ll leap forwards. This final
jumpcovers a decent chunk of ground, but it’s best not to rely on it unless you
absolutely have to. It’s definitely a weapon of last resort It’s still an
important thing to know, though and can save you from some sticky situations.
You’ll grab on to the edge of the road as well, and while it’ll slow you down,
it’s better than dying.
You can hit opponents from behind to knock them off the path
and kill them. You’ll also steal all of their tiles, so it’s well worth doing
if you manage to catch up with someone.
You’ll also want to keep an eye out on what’s happening
behind you. If there’s someone coming up on your rear, try and avoid them
smashing Into you.
When another player has built a shortcut, you can use it
yourself. You won’t get the speed boost that you get from building your own,
but you’ll still cut out chunks of the path. Following a player over their
shortcut is a good way to sneak up on them and try and kill them. Remember that
other racers can use your shortcuts too, but if you’re far enough in the lead
it shouldn’t matter.
Right now
there isn’t anything you can spend your gold on. That means it’s a waste of
time to watch the videos at the end of a race to increase your coffers. You’ll
have to watch a video most times, but they’re skippable so it isn’t too much of
a chore. Don’t waste your time upgrading your gold score and you’ll be able to
jump quickly into the next round.
