Start with the reason for the ending
“You met a branch” means the collision circle reached a solid branch. “You wandered out of the clearing” points to the upper or lower boundary. “The forest got ahead of you” means the moving left edge overtook the companion.
Those reasons suggest different next steps. More clearance can help a branch approach. A smaller excursion helps avoid a vertical boundary. A more forward route addresses a camera failure. The general result title is atmosphere; the specific reason is the useful diagnostic.
Interpret the numbers and headline
The final score is completed gaps in this run. The best belongs to the selected course and companion, and updates only when this run exceeds the previous record. A challenge is completed by exceeding its target rather than merely tying it.
If a run both beats a challenge and sets a personal best, the headline can emphasize the challenge. Read the displayed numbers instead of assuming that only the event named in the headline occurred. A record comparison also depends on which course you selected.
Make one decision before starting again
A discovery message comes from cumulative gaps explored across runs. It may appear even when the final score is below your best. You can inspect available discoveries from the ready interface before making a new attempt.
For practice, capture a short observation such as “upper branch while still climbing.” Pair it with one adjustment, such as starting the reversal earlier. This gives the next retry a purpose. You do not need a detailed log for every run; one precise cause is more useful than repeatedly deciding only to get a higher score.
