A-Z Run is a game that mixes together the alphabet and rolling a ball. You need to collect letters, dodge obstacles and try to avoid falling down holes. It’s a simple enough premise, but there are layers to the experience that you’re going to have to get to grips with if you want to get the most out of the game.
Layers like what, though? Layers like the ones we’ve covered in this here strategy guide. We’ve played a good chunk of the game and discovered all of the hints, tips and tricks you need to follow to take your A-Z Run game to the next level.
This guide is for anyone – whether you’ve rolled the ball a hundred times or you’re just stepping up to the plate for your first go. So let’s get on with it, shall we? Here are the best hints, tips and tricks for A-Z Run.
The letter on the ball is the letter you need
It can be a bit confusing to begin with, but the letter on the ball is the letter you’re trying to pick up. If you hit any other letter with that ball, you’ll simply barge it out of the way. Your ball will also change color, so if you can’t see the letter, aim to hit balls that are the same hue as yours.
Picking up balls speeds you up
You’ll get faster as you pick up more balls, so make sure you’re paying attention otherwise things can get particularly tricky. While hitting the obstacles is bad, falling down the holes is even worse – it’ll end your run. Keep in control and don’t take too many risks when you speed up.
If you can’t pick up a ball, avoid it
There are times when you’ll come up against balls that you can’t collect. While you can barge them out of the way, it’s usually best to try and avoid them, as they can cause havoc if you hit them wrong. Barging is fun, but staying in control is far more important if you want to succeed.
Spikes knock you down a letter
Hitting a spike won’t kill you, it’ll knock you down a letter. The ball representing that letter will also fire out of you, which can make things pretty tricky. It’s best not to hit spikes if you can avoid it, but sometimes it’s your only choice. It’s better to lose a letter than to lose your entire run.
What are the coins for?
You can spend the coins on increasing the letter you start with. You can also spend them on cosmetics that change the look of the game. You’ll earn plenty while you play, so there’s not much point watching the videos to increase them.
