If killed, the player returns to the last checkpoint taken.

Story mode features up to sixty levels for both "Run" and "Rescue", thirty levels for each part of the story, with up to fifteen levels in the original Flash game. [3] Endless mode consists of randomly generated levels while Practice mode goes through the levels from the story without the police officer. The game also contains a multiplayer mode, allowing up to four players (using Game Center on iOS or locally) to play the game. [4]
