Sky Runner

Sky Runner

Outrun a sunset ridge through four biomes, with storms, birds and gem combos.

Panel: 52x16

The run

A runner that keeps changing underneath you. Four biomes rotate as the distance
climbs — each with its own palette, its own hazards and its own music — and the
swap happens at the darkest point of the day/night cycle, so what you notice is
the new world rather than the transition.

The further you get, the faster it runs. There is no end, only how long you
last.

What to watch for

• Gem combos. Collect three in a row and you earn a double jump; five and a
  shield appears. Both announce themselves, and both are gone the moment you
  take a hit.
• The shield. One free mistake. Spend it well.
• Lava pits. They are not gaps — the game draws a floor two rows lower, so
  a pit reads as a drop rather than a hole. Jump them anyway.
• Birds. The only hazard that comes to you.
• Storms. Rain, dark skies, and a horizon that stops helping.
