Hi Runnercrafters,
We thought it would be prudent to share a couple tips and tricks for getting the most out of Runnercraft.
- Your score multiplier is governed by missions completed. To increase your score multiplier by 1, you must complete 3 missions. This is key for getting high scores. You can see your missions at the Main Menu before you go on a run or in the Pause screen during a run.
- Tools will open up a huge realm of possibility for you -- by tools, I mean the Pickaxe, Ax, or Sword. Once you craft a tool, the best one you have in your inventory is automatically equipped and visible at the bottom of the screen during runs. New materials will appear to collect and you will be able to harvest all of the animals in the game. If you pick up any one material while on a run with a tool equipped, the tool will be consumed... so make another one!
When you run over a material and collect it, the tool will multiply the amount of that particular material that goes into your inventory like so:
- Pickaxes will give you 1 (wood), 2 (stone), 3 (iron), 4 (gold), 5 (diamond) materials per pickup.
- Axes will give you 2 (wood), 3 (stone), 4 (iron), 5 (gold), 6 (diamond) materials per pickup.
- Swords will give you 4 (wood), 5 (stone), 6 (iron), 7 (gold), 8 (diamond) materials per pickup.
So you can see that if you have a diamond sword, for example, you will rapidly accumulate materials as you will get 8 of any material you run over and collect!
If you don't craft a tool, only the wood log material will ever show up in the game

and you won't be able to harvest materials from chickens (feathers), cows (hide), sheep (wool), pigs (grease), or creepers (red or blue slime)... So craft some tools!
Good luck everyone!
