Tip #1. Master the Controls

The controls in Trump Run are straightforward but require precision and timing as the game speeds up and you are constantly facing tons of obstacles. The key control feature is the jump function that allows your character to jump and stay in falling mid-air for some time. All you need to do is tap the screen to make your character jump. Ensure you are well aware of the surroundings before making the jump as it can result in you falling right into an obstacle. It’s always advised to look ahead before jumping. Sadly, once you are in mid-air, you cannot cancel the jump or do a double jump. 

Tip #2. Utilizing Power-Ups

Power-ups can be bought throughout the game and provide temporary boosts. Each has its unique benefit, so understanding when to use them can be the difference between a high score and an average run:

• Buddy: The buddy power-up allows you to ride on the back of a horse that also serves as your lifeline for one run. Keep in mind, this is essentially giving you a life-saver buff wherein if you hit an obstacle, the buddy will fall off first, leaving you unharmed. Utilize this power-up in tough situations wherein you have no option but to land on an obstacle due to a failed jump or if the game speed becomes too much to handle. It costs 100 cats to acquire this buff for a single run.
• TrumpForceOn: This is an amazing power-up that straight away gives you 3 extra lives or essentially saves you from 3 deaths. The cost of this power-up is 300 cats, a little steep but worth the value it gives. 
• Punchy: This is a more offensive ability that allows players to simply eliminate up to 3 zombies or spikes that pose a threat to your character. This ability can be activated manually and not automatically. It costs 200 cats to acquire this buff for a single run.
• Vacuum: This is another aggressive skill that allows players to automatically suck up to three zombies or spikes that pose a threat to their character. This ability can only be triggered automatically. It requires 130 cats to obtain this boost for a single run.
• Floaty: This is an amazing boost that enables your character to float for sometime, helping you dodge any spike or zombies that may be present on the ground. Keep in mind, this ability can also be triggered one time and that too, manually. It requires 130 cats to obtain this boost for a single run.

Tip #3. Buy Boosts in Bunch

For those unaware, you can stack up multiple boosts to help you significantly in the next run. This is what can change an average to your next best high score. It’s recommended to purchase all the boosts 1 time and stack them up so you have a ton of advantages. For example, if you buy all the boosts, you will have a total of 4 lives and can eliminate up to 6 enemies without any hassle. Of course, you will also have access to Floaty’s boost in case of emergencies. 

Tip #4. Resource Management is Key!

In Trump Run, cats are the primary and only currency. Players can get more cats by simply playing the game and engaging in multiple runs. Cats come in different colors – Blue, Golden, and Black. Depending on the rarity of the cat, you can get tons of cat coins. These cat coins can later be redeemed in your next run, to purchase new boosts, skins, and levels. Boosts are a 1-time affair, while skins and levels once purchased, remain unlocked forever. Hence, it’s advised to purchase the latter if you are more of a collector, or the former if you are simply chasing high scores. 

Tip #5. Practice, Practice, and more Practice!

This tip cannot be stressed enough on as the entire concept of the game revolves around beating your own high score. The game also offers multiple challenging levels with different themes to make it more different each time. Players can configure out the boosts each time and setup their runs to be as efficient as possible.
