Runner Games

About Runner Games

Runner games keep moving forward whether you act or not. The track scrolls on its own, and your job is to react to what it brings: jump the gap, switch lanes, slide under the bar or shoot the gate before you reach it.

The skill is reading ahead. The obstacles come in patterns, and a good run comes from seeing the next two or three of them early rather than reacting to the one in front of you. Speed tends to rise as you go, so the same pattern gets harder each time it returns.

Runs are short and restarting is instant, which is why they suit a phone browser so well. Controls are a tap, a swipe or a pair of keys, levels and best distances are saved on your device, and there is no download before the first run.
