A runner with a world around it

Every run is a path out of the Sanctuary, the forest clearing where your guardians wait between adventures.

  • Seven guardians

    The Sylvan Stag, Wildwood Mustang, Moonlit Unicorn, Ember Kitsune, Storm Pegasus, Silverpine Wolf and Sunstreak Cheetah, each with five Powers that open up as it gathers Essence.

  • 120 paths, then Endless

    A campaign of 200 levels through the Elderleaf Forest and Crystal Canyon, stars to earn on each, and an Endless run that wanders between them and keeps getting faster.

  • Weather that changes the run

    Days turn to night and seasons turn over. Rain, snow, fog, lightning, meteor showers, tornadoes that fling logs off the track, and rockslides and bursting crystals in the canyon.

  • Make them yours

    Spend the Essence you gather on colors, markings and trails, and unlock more as you earn stars.

  • Simple to play

    Swipe or use the arrow keys: left and right to dodge, up to jump, down to slide. Easy to start, with plenty to master.

  • Online only if you want

    Play entirely offline, or turn on online play for leaderboards, with no email or password needed.
