How to play Road Runner
There is very little to learn before your first run. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Run and change lane |
| Spacebar | Jump |
| Shift | Slide |
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.
Why it is worth playing
Road Runner is easy to start and harder to master, which is the balance the best browser games hit. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
