Run through the Sahara collecting gold nuggets buried under sun-baked dunes. Tap to sprint forward and dodge vipers, quicksand, and rolling boulders appearing with barely a second of warning. Oasis tokens scatter across the route and slow the desert heat for five seconds when collected. The Sahara accelerates relentlessly until the dunes are a blur.

Blitz through words by tapping letters in the correct order to spell each target before the timer expires. Bonus letters drop in gold and double the word score when correctly included. A wrong letter resets the current word and locks it out for two seconds. A five-word perfect streak triggers a legendary word blitz bonus round.

A shadow performs a movement sequence and you must trace the exact path with your finger after the shadow fades. The shadow moves faster each round and the trace window shortens. A perfect trace scores full points; a rough trace scores partial. Later rounds have complex looping paths that must be traced from memory without a single direction error.
