Features
- Endless Fast-Paced Platformer Fun – Sprint, wall-run, plunge, dash, and avoid obstacles to beat your rivals to the finish line. Show off your platforming skills by using the environment to your advantage to navigate tricky obstacles, take speed lanes to gain the lead, time your jumps perfectly to get ahead, or masterfully cross large gaps. As you progress, the levels get more challenging, and there are infinite levels that are procedurally generated to make your play-through unique every time.
- Outrun up to 16 sprinters – Only one hero can ascend. Compete against up to 16 runners and fight your way to cross the finish line before your competition or risk being eliminated. Use weapons such as fireballs, sunbeams, electric arks, and more to outsmart and outpace your rivals.
- Choose your Hero & Refine your Runner’s Style – Every hero has a special ability, so choose the best one wisely to fit your runner’s style. Do you prefer an offensive, defensive, or speed-based approach? During each race, you can collect or steal diamonds, which will help you augment your hero’s ability list and give you an edge in the next round. You have the freedom to create endless play builds that cater to your play style. From jetpacks to shields, the choice is entirely yours!
