 ## Gameplay Rules
 
-- TRex starts with **5 hearts** (or **10 hearts** in VIP mode).
+- TRex starts with **3 hearts**.
-- Easy and Medium end with a portal that advances to the next difficulty while preserving score.
 - Moving forward earns score (**+1 per forward step unit**).
 - Water gaps cause instant death if landed in.
 - Ant collision costs 1 heart; jumping on ants crushes them.
