Looking for a quick arcade game? Space Runner runs in the browser and needs no download. Think parkour & running — that is the shape of it. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Space Runner
Space Runner is a fun 2D runner in which you need to avoid asteroids coming at you!
How to play Space 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. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
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
Difficulty in Space Runner comes from the game itself rather than from waiting, unlocking or paying, which is rarer than it should be. It is not trying to be anything larger, and it is better for it.
