About these games

In a 3D runner your character runs forward on its own. You only steer: slide left and right to pick up what you need, pass through the right gates and keep away from the obstacles. That makes runners the easiest games to play on a phone, and each level takes about a minute.

Each runner here adds its own idea on top: colours to match, a stack to build, a rival to race or something that evolves. If you crash, you can usually carry on once from where you fell. Coins from every run go into the wallet shared by all TinyJar games.

Questions and answers

How do you play a runner game?

Your character runs by itself. Drag left and right (or slide your finger) to steer into good items and gates and around obstacles until the finish line.

Which running game is best for beginners?

Garden Runner is the gentlest. Balloon Run and Wood Stair are a good next step, and Knife Run is the fastest.

Can I play running games with the keyboard?

The runners are made for dragging with the mouse or a finger. Hold the left mouse button and move left or right to steer.
