Tomb Runner: read turns separately from jumps and slides
The explorer runs automatically, leaving three decisions: jump, slide or change direction. Identify the obstacle type before choosing an input. Coins can suggest a route, but an overhead barrier and a gap require different responses even when both sit on that route.
Controls
PC: Use the Up Arrow to jump, Down Arrow to slide, and Left/Right Arrows to turn corners or switch lanes. Mobile: Swipe up to jump, swipe down to slide, and swipe left/right to turn or change lanes.
Read turns separately from jumps and slides
Starting your adventure in Tomb Runner is incredibly straightforward, but mastering it takes sharp reflexes. When you press the play button, your explorer will automatically begin sprinting forward along the ancient stone path. You do not control the running speed; your only focus is survival and navigation.
As you run, various obstacles will quickly appear in your path. If you see a gap in the road, a low wall, or a spiked barrel on the ground, you must jump over it. If there is a high barrier, a hanging rope trap, or a low-hanging archway, you must slide underneath it to avoid getting hit. When the path abruptly ends and turns left or right, you must quickly change your direction, or your character will fall off the edge.
While surviving is your main priority, keep an eye out for the diamond-shaped yellow coins and rare blue gems scattered across the track. Guide your character left or right into the different lanes to collect them. These coins and gems act as the in-game currency. Once you accumulate enough gems, you can visit the store on the main menu to unlock new, fun characters to play with.
The game is endless, meaning there is no final finish line. The speed will gradually increase the further you run, making it harder to react. The round ends if you trip on an obstacle, run into a wall, or fall off the path. Try to beat your previous distance and score records!
Endless Action
Run as far as possible through an infinitely generating temple path filled with dangerous traps.
Unlockable Characters and Challenging Obstacles
Collect gems during your run to purchase cool new heroes like Lara Bones.
React quickly to avoid spiked barricades, bridge gaps, and low-hanging stone arches.
Survive as long as possible on the endless path
Distinguish a low obstacle to jump from a high barrier to slide beneath. Give upcoming turns priority over collecting coins in another lane.
Jumping toward an overhead barrier is not a substitute for sliding underneath it. A corner requires a turn before the current path ends.
