Sprint physics and obstacle timing

The core challenge in Extreme Pamplona revolves around managing your runner's momentum. Hitting an obstacle does not always end the run immediately, but it causes your character to stumble and lose crucial speed. Because your pursuer maintains a steady chase velocity, even a single stumble can eliminate your lead.

Successful runs require anticipating jump distances early. Launching your jump too close to a tall barrier can cause a collision, while jumping too early may leave you landing directly on top of street obstacles. Keeping a continuous sprint ensures maximum jump arc distance when leaping across rooftops and wide street gaps.

Tips and strategy

• Jump before the barrier base: Trigger your jump slightly ahead of fences and crates to clear the apex without clipping the edges.
• Never pause your run: Stopping or slowing down gives the pursuer an immediate opportunity to close the gap and tackle you.
• Scan the upper route: High paths over balconies and roofs often contain fewer ground obstacles and provide cleaner running lines.
• Recover quickly after stumbles: If you clip an obstacle, immediately hold down the sprint key to rebuild lost speed before the bull arrives.
