Our take on Captain The Runner

The defining constraint is a 5000-jump allowance: jumps are reserved for escaping danger, while survival time drives the score.

What is Captain The Runner?

Captain The Runner is a retro-style endless running game.

Guide the Captain through modern cities, dodging cars, buses, spaceships, and water as he tries to escape. The run ends when he fails to survive, while his score grows for as long as he stays alive. Gather stars in four colors—gold, red, blue, and green—to raise the score. The game offers 5 scenarios and allows up to 5000 jumps for emergency evasions. Its repeated play centers on moving forward, avoiding hazards, and trying to set a higher score.
