Joust

Collide with an enemy while your lance is higher to unseat them. Collect the egg before it hatches into something worse. Don't touch the lava.

Win the joust

Higher lance wins every collision. Equal height bounces you both apart. Losers drop an egg — grab it fast for chained bonus points (250 → 1000).

Eggs hatch

Leave an egg too long and it hatches a rider who mounts a fresh bird — one tier tougher than before. Shadow Lords hunt you relentlessly.

Survive the skies

Lava kills instantly. Take too long to clear a wave and the pterodactyl comes for you — only a perfectly level lance to the face can stop it. Extra life every 20,000 points.
