Puffin Road by sawdust is an obstacle avoidance game where you, a blue puffin, must cross a terrain of grass and roads. You tap your screen or swipe upwards, to move the puffin forward. The farther you go, the higher your score.
You can also move left or right by swiping left or right. You can also move backwards by swiping backwards.
Death is caused by being ran over by a vehicle (from the front, T-boned from the side or from the back for some), by leaving the designated map area (shown by a darker colour) or by moving backwards by more than two steps.
There are differernt entites that you will meet on the grass and roads:
Grass - On the grass, you will meet stationary objects such as trees, flowers and boulders. You must move around them to move forward. Be careful in areas where there are a lot of consecutive grass layers; you may sometimes reach a dead end, and not have enough backsteps available to take an alternative path.
Roads - On the roads, you will meet a bunch of different vehicles, such as cars, scooters, trucks and buses. These can move in either left/right direction, and can do so at different speeds, regardless of vehicle type. Each lane has a consistent speed, so any gap between cars remains constant. While being ran over by any vehicle results in death, some vehicles are more versatile. For example, scooters, small cars, racecars and police cars can be pushed from behind and pushed in their direction of travel (the cars can also push heavier cars in front of them too), whereas pushing a truck directly will result in death. Sometimes, running into the side of a vehicle does not result in death. This happens to some vehicles at some instances when you clip the rear corner of a vehicle.

Strategy

Patience is key, rushing is usually a bad idea. Having said that, you should try to get as large a combo as possible and spam tap to run through a series quickly.
If you can, try to continuously go back to the middle of the map to avoid being forced out.
Make sure that your path to grass is clear, and not blocked by a grass object.
Sometimes you have to go back to go forward, even in traffic.
