How to play Super Shekel Bros

Keyboard and mobile controls

On a computer, click the game and use the keyboard. On a phone or tablet, use the large buttons below the game. You can hold a direction and tap jump at the same time.

Make the second jump count

Hold the first jump for more height; release early for a short hop. The second press works while you are airborne, and landing restores both jumps. Use a late second jump to extend a crossing, or an earlier one to reach a high ledge. A third press will not give another jump.

The toolbar also has sound and expanded-view buttons. Sound starts only after you enable it. Leaving the game or switching tabs pauses play so Shlomo can wait for you.

Classic or Explorer?

Both modes include all three stages. Every exit requires 100 shekels collected in its own stage. Explorer gives you more room for mistakes; gaps and steam vents still need attention.

Coins, power-ups, and optional souvenirs

Shekels

Collect at least 100 per stage, then reach the exit at the far right. Each stage has spare coins, so one missed ledge does not end your run. Ground coins alone are not enough: follow the trails across the raised platforms.

Magnet · M

Temporarily attracts nearby coins. Keep moving along a coin trail to make the most of it. Power-ups last four seconds in Classic and six seconds in Explorer.

Shield · S

Provides temporary protection from contact damage. You still need to cross gaps safely.

Challah

Restores one missing heart. It stays unconsumed when your hearts are full.

Dreidels

Three optional souvenirs are placed in each stage, for nine across the campaign. Collect them for an extra challenge; you never need them to unlock an exit.

Coin streaks

Collect coins in quick succession to build a streak. Your best streak appears in the run results.

Moving ledges and breakaway crossings

Blue arrows identify moving platforms. They carry you while you stand on them; jump when the next landing is within reach. Amber cracked ledges give way after 0.85 seconds in Classic or 1.25 seconds in Explorer, then rebuild after 2.8 seconds. Their cracks turn brighter when the countdown starts. Both types use the same jump controls.

Hold your first jump for height and delay the second press to cross wider gaps. A striped beach parasol launches you automatically and leaves one jump for steering. Optional souvenirs reward harder routes; checkpoints and spare coins let you recover from missed landings.

Checkpoints, saves, and finishing a run

Flags mark checkpoints along the route. If Shlomo falls, he returns to a checkpoint and loses a heart; collected coins stay collected. After losing every heart, restart the stage or begin another adventure from the menu.

Your run and personal best use storage in your current browser when it is available. Return on the same device and choose Continue run to resume from a checkpoint. Saves do not sync between browsers or devices, and clearing site data removes them. If storage is blocked, you can still play, but progress cannot be saved.

Stage one ends with a descent into the tunnels. Stage two ends with a jet flight to Tel Aviv. You can pause or skip either animation, and travel does not add to your run timer. Finish the third stage to see your campaign results.

Best Time beneath Personal Best records your fastest completed three-stage adventure, with separate records for Classic and Explorer. Lower is better. The timer counts active play, including world retries, and excludes pauses and travel animations. Continuing a saved run keeps its accumulated time. Times are saved on this device when browser storage is available.
