About Animal Rush
Animal Rush is a fun game to play. Tap on the screen to change the direction of the animal or make it jump to avoid gaps. Collect diamonds along the way and unlock new animals to play. Don’t fall off the path or the game will be over.
How to play Animal Rush
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing
