Looking for a quick arcade game? Sane Runner runs in the browser and needs no download. The core of it is parkour & running. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.

How to play Sane Runner
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Run and change lane |
| Spacebar | Jump |
| Shift | Slide |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Sane Runner does not — it is playable from the first second. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
