VACUUM RUSH

HOW TO PLAY

Scroll down to read everything — the play button is at the bottom.

The goal

You are wastewater rushing through a vacuum sewer main. Travel as far as you can before the vacuum runs out.

Controls

What you'll meet

• Blue orbs — collect them. Each one adds +7% vacuum.
• Valves — gold discs that block the pipe. Line up with the open gap and pass through for +4% and a fanfare. Hitting the disc costs −38%.
• Hazards — round clogs inside a red circle: fatbergs, wet wipes and grit. Avoid them: −30%.

Tools (you choose when to use them)

Grab the bright bubbles with a green + to store a tool (up to 3 of each). Use it when you need it: tap the tool buttons (on mobile, at the right of the finger zone) or press 1, 2, 3 on a computer. You start every run with 1 Shield, 1 Turbo and 1 Slow-mo.

🤖 Auto Tools (on by default) fires them for you at the right moment — Shield just before a hit, Turbo when vacuum is critical, Slow-mo for the Mega Clog, Magnet when you need orbs. Switch it off on the home screen to play manually.

⏳ Slow-mo slows the whole pipe for 6 s — perfect for a tricky valve or the Mega Clog.

• S — Shield: blocks the next hit (lasts 20 s).
• M — Magnet: pulls nearby orbs to you for 9 s.
• T — Turbo: +25% vacuum, faster flow, and nothing can hurt you for 4 s.

Pipe events

• Peak flow — more orbs, faster flow.
• Steep climb — the pipe climbs; vacuum drains faster.
• Blockage — big clogs. Stay sharp.
• Narrow pipe and Mega Clog — see below.
• Power cut — lights dim and vacuum drains fast. Grab every orb.

Curves and slopes

The pipe goes up and down. ⬇ Downhill the flow speeds up and uses less vacuum. ⬆ Uphill the flow slows and drains more vacuum — but climbs bring extra orbs. Green chevrons on the pipe floor mean a drop is coming, orange means a climb. The pipe also bends left, right and through S-bends.

Stations

Every 1000 m you pass a vacuum station: vacuum refills to 100% and a new sector begins with a new pipe colour.

Modes

• Easy / Normal / Hard — changes speed, vacuum leak and obstacles. Each has its own best score.
• Daily challenge — the same pipe for everyone today. Compare scores with friends.

Funny things in the pipe

Rubber ducks, lost phones, socks, the boss's tie… Ride into them for a laugh and +3% vacuum. They never hurt you.

Missions and skins

You always have 3 missions. Each one you finish earns a ★ star. Stars unlock new slugs: Gold, Duck, Fire, Smiley, Rainbow and more.

Challenge a friend

After every run you get a challenge code like VR-N-K7Q2-1240. Send it to a friend — they type it on the menu and play exactly the same pipe to beat your distance.

Replays

When a run ends you see a 5-second replay of your final moments with a spinning camera (tap to skip). Tap WATCH YOUR REPLAY to relive the whole run: it fast-forwards, then slows down and orbits the camera 360° around each highlight — sideways and over the top — milestones, close calls, valve streaks, stations, comebacks and more.

More danger

• Valves that spin during the Mega Clog.
• Narrow pipe — the pipe squeezes in.
• Mega Clog — 4 spinning valves in a row. Clear them all for +25%.

60-second Rush

How far can you get in one minute? Perfect for a quick break.

Vacuum

Your vacuum slowly leaks away. Watch the ring around the slug and the meter at top left: STRONG → DROPPING → CRITICAL. When it hits 0%, the flow stalls and the run ends.

Rewards

• Milestones at 250, 500, 750 m, then every 500 m — applause and +10% vacuum.
• 8 orbs in a row without a hit — orb streak.
• Climb back from critical — comeback bonus cheer.
• Ranks: Trainee Operator → Line Technician → Valve Specialist → Station Engineer → Vacuum Master → Vacuum Legend.

Tips

• Follow orb trails — they're your fuel.
• Line up with a valve gap early, then hold steady.
• Small smooth moves beat big swings. The pipe gets faster the longer you last.
