Looking for a quick arcade game? Swipe Rush runs in the browser and needs no download. The core of it is parkour & running and block & tetris-like. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.

How to play Swipe Rush
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
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
