Desert Runner

📖 Read the strategy guide ›

Desert Runner is an endless runner across golden sand dunes. Your runner keeps moving forward on their own, so your job is timing: jump over obstacles, slide under the ones you cannot clear and scoop up coins as the pace picks up.

How to play

  1. Your runner moves forward automatically.
  2. Jump over obstacles; hold the jump to go higher.
  3. Slide to duck under low obstacles.
  4. Collect coins as you go.
  5. Run as far as you can without crashing.

Controls

Computer
Press Space, Up, W or Z to jump (hold to jump higher). Press Down or S to slide.
Phone and tablet
Tap to jump and hold for a higher jump. Swipe down to slide.

Tips

  • Short taps give small hops, which are easier to control.
  • Watch further ahead as the speed increases.
  • Do not chase every coin if it puts you in danger.

Questions

Does the game end?
No, it keeps going until you hit an obstacle. Try to beat your best distance.
How do I jump higher?
