How to play Canyon Sprint

  1. Press Start. The hare runs on its own.
  2. Jump with the up arrow or space; hold it for a higher jump. Duck under vultures with the down arrow.
  3. Use the left and right arrows to drop back or speed up, and pick up carrots to push the storm back.
  4. Hit something and the hare stumbles, letting the storm close in. If it catches you, you lose a life; three and the run is over.
