Cyber Run sectors, stars and modes
The city escape in five sectors
The escape from Grid City has five sectors. You play them in order. Finish a sector to unlock the next one. Each sector takes about two minutes, and the whole escape takes about 8 to 10 minutes of running. Start run always takes you to the first sector you have not finished yet.
| Sector | Name | Your goal | Target time | Checkpoint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | Skyline rooftops | Cross the rooftops and reach the market lifts. | 1:48 | no |
| 1-2 | Night market | Weave through the stalls to the foundry gate. | 1:52 | no |
| 1-3 | The foundry | Cross the furnace yards and find the transit entrance. | 2:04 | yes |
| 1-4 | Transit tunnels | Follow the service tracks to the outer wall. | 2:06 | yes |
| 1-5 | Beyond the wall | Cross the last bridges. Your shuttle is waiting. | 2:24 | yes |
Each district has its own buildings, sky, colours and music.
Stars in every sector
Each sector has three stars, so there are fifteen in all:
- Finish: reach the end of the sector.
- 90% shards: collect at least 90% of the sector's shards.
- Target time: finish faster than the target time.
You do not need all three in one run. A star you earn stays earned. A run that starts from a checkpoint cannot earn the time star.
Tips for the hardest sectors
- The foundry (1-3): it is longer than the first two. Use the checkpoint and learn the second half.
- Transit tunnels (1-4): listen for the turn sounds. Two low taps mean left, three high taps mean right.
- Beyond the wall (1-5): this is the longest sector. Save your sprint for the open parts and slow down when obstacles come close together.
The end of the escape
When you cross the last bridge, a shuttle is waiting beyond the wall. You see a short ending and the Combined sector bests: your best time in each sector, added up. Press Revisit the city to go back.
Overclock and Daily practice
- Overclock builds a fresh route every time you choose it. It mixes the same city pieces in a new order, with calm stretches to breathe. Run again keeps the same route.
- Daily practice gives one route for the whole day. Tomorrow there is a new one.
Scores stay on your device. There is no online leaderboard. Overclock and Daily practice are for members. The five sectors are free to try.
The Shard shop
Spend the shards you collect in the Shard shop. What you buy stays yours.
