Runner Games
The Thrill of Momentum
There’s something about moving at speed that we just love. Skiing, sailing, driving, flying, or parachuting—whatever it is—there’s a joy in feeling air moving over your skin, the sensation of the world shooting by, and using your body. Running games evoke just some of those sensations but imply the rest. No wonder so many games have drawn on that movement and sensation to communicate exhilaration, without having to wear some stretchy science fiction clothing or the need to put miles on your knees by actually running somewhere.
From Arcade Sprints to Endless Runners
Ever since the days of the first arcades, we’ve had running games, with the early Track and Field game setting the standard for button-hammering to speed up. With the advent of mobile phones, the focus changed to endless runners like Canabalt, where the player doesn’t control the character’s speed but instead their direction of travel. The more modern parkour, or “free running” games, task the player to perform certain actions as they run too, sliding under obstacles or leaping over barriers and gaps.
A Huge Free Collection, Playable Anywhere
Our selection calls back to those days, with titles akin to the 1990s Sonic games as well as the 2000s endless runner genre. We have side-scrolling racing games, endless runners, geometry jumping games, parkour games, sports running games, and much, much more. They can take place in metropolises, apocalyptic wastelands, abstract landscapes, sports fields, or just lush green jungles. And, like all the games on GamePix, they come with easy, intuitive controls and should work on any device, whether that’s PC, mobile phone, or tablet. They’re also all free, so you won’t be chased down for not paying!
Is life troubling you? Then just sprint away from it into our escapist, endless running games. It can’t follow you there!
