In **Subway Princess Runner**, vertical navigation relies on simple screen swipes to dodge obstacles, jump onto trains, and slide under barriers.
---
1. How to Jump
* **Gesture:** **Swipe UP** on your screen.
* **When to use:** Jump over low barriers, train hitches, moving obstacles, or onto the roofs of trains to collect upper-level coin tracks.
* **Pro Tip:** Swiping down while mid-air will immediately cancel your jump and force your character back onto the ground early—useful if you mistimed a jump toward an incoming train.

2. How to Slide
* **Gesture:** **Swipe DOWN** on your screen.
* **When to use:** Duck under high arches, overhead traffic signs, and hanging clearance bars.
* **Pro Tip:** Swiping down while running also helps you roll quickly through low tunnel openings without losing momentum.
