You have 50 seconds to finish your run. When the time is out you get your score and if you find yourself in the negative score zone, you can go back and try to improve it, or if you are in the black you can still go back and try to beat it. It is very easy to fall into the minus score zone because the game moves really fast and it takes some time for you to get used to the commands. And it doesn't last very long, those 50 seconds fly right by while you' re trying to hit the right key to make your stick do what you'd like him to do. However, after a little while, you get the hang of it and game becomes quite fun.

As far as commands go, they are very simple. "A" key is for high punch, so you can get all those standing bums, "S" key is for low kick for all those sitting bums of course. The space bar is to jump, and you need to jump especially over all those red hydrants, or you lose points. Also, you use arrow keys to move more forward or backward while avoiding falling projectiles. If those hits you, you already know the drill, you lose points. So you can see how easily you can go down the negative score line. Overall the game is well made, with no glitches and descent graphics, which altogether allow you a nice amount of occasional fun.
