We’ve had a lot of interest in Road Runner since yesterday, with a lot of people wanting hints and tips. Well, we’re certainly some way off the current high score on Twin Galaxies, but we can give you a few pointers.

First off you need to play with analogue controls, as a digital pad will stop you from gaining the tongue bonus. Whenever Road Runner allows Wile Coyote to get near him, you’ll eventually gain 2,000 points after a limited amount of time. You’ll know if you’re doing this correctly because Wile’s arms will be outstretched. By using this hand tip we’ve been able to double our score for the first level.

Be warned though, controlling the analogue stick is quite tricky and it’s going to take a fair while before you fully master it. Another handy piece of advice is that you should never miss a seed. If you do your multiplier immediately resets to zero, undoing all your hard work. Loosing a life makes no difference to the multiplyer, so sometimes it’s best to simply cut your loses and let Wile get you.

You need a steady hand to get into the big leagues.
