# About Vector Rush

Vector Rush is a minimalist, fast-paced endless runner designed to test your reflexes and timing. In this game, you control a swift yellow square navigating a perpetually scrolling world filled with red geometric obstacles. The objective is simple: survive for as long as possible by avoiding every obstacle that comes your way.

The challenge lies in the game's ever-increasing speed. As you successfully dodge more obstacles and your score climbs, the pace quickens, demanding faster reactions and flawless execution. The clean, modern aesthetic ensures that your focus remains entirely on the gameplay, making for an addictive and highly replayable experience.

## How to Play

The game is easy to learn but difficult to master. Your character runs forward automatically. Your task is to perform one of two actions to avoid the oncoming red blocks:

1.  **Jump:** Leap over low-lying obstacles.
2.  **Slide:** Duck under high-hanging obstacles by temporarily shrinking your character.

Your score increases for every obstacle you successfully pass. The game ends instantly if you collide with any obstacle. After a game over, you can immediately restart to try and beat your previous high score.

## Features

- **Progressive Difficulty:** The game speed steadily increases the longer you survive, providing a continuous challenge.
- **Responsive Design:** The game automatically adjusts to fit any screen size, offering a seamless experience on both desktop and mobile devices.
- **Intuitive Controls:** Simple and responsive controls for keyboard, mouse, and touchscreens make it accessible to everyone.
- **Minimalist Graphics:** A clean and vibrant vector art style keeps the focus on the action without any distractions.

## Controls

The game supports multiple control schemes for your convenience:

- **Keyboard:**
  - **Jump:** `Spacebar`, `Arrow Up`, or `W` key.
  - **Slide:** `Arrow Down` or `S` key.
- **Touchscreen:**
  - **Jump:** Tap the screen or swipe up.
  - **Slide:** Swipe down.
- **Mouse:**
  - **Jump:** Left-click the mouse.

To start or restart the game, simply tap, click, or press the `Spacebar`.

## Tips & Strategies

- **Timing is Everything:** Don't jump or slide too early. Wait for the obstacle to get close enough to accurately judge your timing.
- **Look Ahead:** Keep your eyes focused on the right side of the screen to anticipate upcoming obstacles and plan your moves in advance.
- **Master Both Moves:** Get comfortable with both jumping and sliding. The increasing speed will soon force you to make split-second decisions between the two.
