Gameplay Mechanics
Core Runner Mechanics
The game follows classic endless runner controls with a Holi twist. Players swipe left/right to change lanes, up to jump over obstacles, and down to slide under barriers. The twist comes from the color throw system - players collect colored powder packets that can be thrown at opponents to slow them down or at festival elements to unlock bonuses.
Color Battle System
A unique feature in Holi Energetic Run is its competitive color throwing. When playing multiplayer:
- Players collect different colored powders (red, blue, green, yellow)
- Throwing color at opponents temporarily blinds their screen
- Strategic color combinations create special effects
- Mixing colors creates new temporary power-ups
Festival Challenges
Each run incorporates random festival challenges:
- Dhol Beat Challenges: Match your taps to traditional drum rhythms
- Thandai Collection: Gather the festival drink for speed boosts
- Pichkari Battles: Water gun fights against festival NPCs
- Rangoli Puzzles: Quick-time pattern matching
