About Runner
Runner is a hurdling game. Your character sprints along a challenging level at full speed, and the course is lined with hurdles that have to be jumped one after another. The hurdles sit at even distances, which turns the run into a question of rhythm: clear one cleanly and the following one arrives on the same beat.
Precision matters more than raw speed. Clipping a hurdle can slow the runner or break the rhythm, and once the pattern is broken the jumps after it become harder to judge. Real hurdlers keep a steady stride between barriers, with elite athletes taking three steps, and the game is built around that same idea of a fixed, repeatable cadence. It runs on phones and computers in either orientation.

How to play Runner
Objective
Get the hurdler through the level by jumping every hurdle with clean timing, keeping a steady stride so no barrier slows you down.
Getting started
- Hold the device either way; the game works in portrait and in landscape.
- Let the runner reach full speed and watch the gap to the first hurdle.
- Jump just before the hurdle so the runner clears it cleanly without clipping it.
- Count the steps between hurdles; with even spacing, the same count should repeat for each one.
- If you clip a hurdle, rebuild your rhythm on the following gap instead of rushing the jump.
Tips
- Because the hurdles are evenly spaced, the timing of one good jump is the template for the rest; repeat it rather than reacting fresh each time.
- Clipping a hurdle costs speed and rhythm, so a jump that comes slightly early is usually safer than a late one that catches the barrier.
- Elite hurdlers take three steps between barriers; think of each gap as a short, even count to keep your stride steady.

Hitting a hurdle can slow your runner down or throw off the rhythm of the run. Since the hurdles are evenly spaced, getting back into a steady stride is the quickest way to recover.
What kind of game is Runner?
It is a hurdling game built around timing. Your character races through a challenging level at full speed and has to jump a series of evenly spaced hurdles without breaking stride.
Can Runner be played on a phone?
Yes. It supports phones as well as computers and works in both portrait and landscape, so hold the phone whichever way gives you the clearer view of the hurdles ahead.
