I’ve completed the hard trail on classic several times and it still won’t award me the gold trophy, it’s been like this for so long that I’ve given up, when will this be fixed?

Lots of bugs after the update. Gem hunt, arcade challenge, baby request, room loading. And more… very slow.

I do the easy route and keep my finger on the fast button at all times. When I jump at the top of a hill, I hold the jump button a long time to jump far enough to avoid any obstacles at the bottom of the hill. I usually always cross the finish line this way!

I find when going off the steep hill that holding down the forward key until I land helps me avoid any obstacle at the bottom.

On the easy course: How do you get past that tree at the bottom of the cliff? I can’t figure out how to jump over it.

It is easier to play polar plunge on desktop rather than mobile because mobile is zoomed in making it harder to see obstacles ahead

I have won beginner at least 2 or more times. What I do is have it go as slow as I can by holding the back key the whole time. When I see an obstacle I wait until I am really close then jump. If I see a rock I let go of the back key and click the right key to go fast. Doing this will let you get enough speed to get over the rock then I go back to holding the back key. May have to do this for both snowman with top hats and rocks. When going down hill even if there is a ramp I do not jump. I just let my pet go slowly over the ramp unless there is a tree in front of the ramp. If there is an obstacle at the bottom of the hill I let go of back key and jump. Sometimes I click the fast key but most time I do not need to. Now the one down side of holding the back key the whole time is that you need to jump over every obstacles even if it’s a snowman with a green scarf as you would be going to slow and not have enough speed. But the nice thing is that when you are going slow it gives to time to react and jump over obstacles. Hope this helps

I have never seen the course shown above, so I’m guessing that it is expert level. I am forever stuck in beginner, as arrow keys and I don’t get along. I can’t figure out how to jump obstacles at the base of steep hills, so that’s always game over for me. I give Dorothy Lou credit for keeping at it for 50 games – for research puposes!
