About Bubble Runner
Bubble Runner is the new game distributed by GamePix. You're a running bubble man and you need to avoid the obstacles.
How to play Bubble Runner
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Run and change lane |

On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
