Swipe horizontally to change lanes, swipe up to jump, and swipe down to slide. Use these controls to clear obstacles first; collect bananas when doing so does not put your route at risk.
Change lanes before reaching an obstacle
The draft describes three lanes. Swipe left or right to move between them when an obstacle blocks your current path. Look ahead for blocked lanes and change lanes before you reach the obstacle rather than waiting until it is directly in front of your Minion.
Jump over and slide under hazards
Swipe up to jump over low obstacles, such as crates or barriers. Swipe down to slide beneath overhead hazards, such as signs or pipes. If a lane change and a jump or slide are both needed, the draft recommends handling the immediate vertical obstacle first, then checking your lane.
Put survival before bananas
Bananas are optional pickups along the route, so avoid a risky lane change just to collect them. When a banana line is clear of obstacles, adjust your lane to follow it without making a last-second correction.
The draft suggests using short, decisive swipes and practicing in earlier parts of a run. If a sequence feels difficult, focus on clearing the next obstacle before trying to collect every banana.

This helped me understand strategy much better.
This saved me time in the early game.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
