Online Running & Jumping Game - Island Runner
Get ready to run for your life to date! Island Runner is a fun and addicting ‘endless running’ arcade-style game similar in idea to other popular action game titles such as Temple Run, and Canabalt. Choose from 8 different unlockable characters in a never-ending mad dash across randomly-sized islands, platforms and ledges where you have to time your jumps to perfection in order to avoid falling into the cavernous abyss below! Use fast fingers, super-sharp reactions and expert timing to travel as far as you can across the cool, silhouette-style landscape. On your marks… get set…. RUN RUN RUN!
How to Play: Your goal is to make it as far along the side-scrolling landscape as you can in each ‘run’. You earn points and virtual funds for each meter that you travel. There are 8 characters (aka Runners) in total. At the start of the game, only 2 are available, but you can unlock the rest using the virtual income that you earn. On the main menu screen, choose your Runner by clicking on their Icon using your computer mouse or touchpad. Then click the ‘Start’ button to start.
Your Runner automatically moves across the game screen. The landscape is made up of hundreds of different-sized ‘Islands’, and you have to leap from Island to Island to survive. Hit the Z Key on your computer keyboard to jump, and hit it twice to perform a double-jump. Press the X Key to ‘Dash’, giving the Runner a split-second, super boost of speed. If your Runner falls into a ravine between two Islands, you have to start again. If you have amassed sufficient virtual income, you can use this to unlock other characters in between runs. Each character has strengths and weaknesses - try and find the best match for your running style!
There are special ‘?’ Power Up Boxes dotted randomly around the landscape. Collecting these can produce good or bad results. For example, you might earn extra Bonus Points – but you might also find your Runner flipped upside down! It’s the luck of the draw! Happy Island hopping!
