Neon Runner

Procedural skyline sprint that always guarantees a path forward. Tap, click, or smash space to vault obstacles, chain wall jumps, and chase seeded high scores. Bullet-time kicks in on near misses—ride it to thread gaps and push your run further.

Tip: Share the current seed via URL hash (e.g. #seed=0x7f4ea21) to challenge friends with the same rooftop layout. Desktop controls use arrows / WASD with Space to jump; mobile supports tap and hold.

Desktop Controls

  • Space / Tap — jump, hold for longer airtime
  • Arrow keys or WASD — directional influence midair
  • Hold Space near walls — wall slide & wall jump

Mobile

  • Single tap — jump
  • Tap and hold — extend jump, trigger bullet-time
  • Swipe while holding — quick drift for midair nudges

Scoring

  • Checkpoints add bonus time and speed ramps
  • Grails (neon shards) boost multiplier
  • Best run persists in local storage per device
