Features of Runner games
- Endless Gameplay: unlike traditional platformers with individual levels, running games typically allow players to keep running until they are eventually caught by an obstacle or enemy.
- Obstacles and Hazards: these games are filled with various obstacles such as pits, spikes, traps and moving objects that the player must navigate through or avoid. Timing and reflexes are critical.
- Power-ups and Items: players often have the opportunity to collect power-ups or special items along the way that can provide temporary upgrades such as invincibility, increased speed, or extra lives.
- Increasing Difficulty: as players progress, the game usually becomes more challenging, with obstacles appearing more frequently or becoming more challenging. This increasing difficulty makes the gameplay interesting and encourages players to improve their skills.
