Space Runner: your next space adventure

Ready for launch?

Space Runner is our new free-steering space game. Move your ship anywhere on the flight field, collect star crystals and find a path through the asteroid field.

How to fly

  • Move your mouse, drag with your finger, or use arrow keys / WASD to steer.
  • Survive a 20-second sector to clear it. Continue to the next sector or finish to bank your score.
  • From sector 2, rocks drift sideways. From sector 3, broken asteroid walls leave a gap to fly through.
  • One unprotected collision ends the run and spends one life. Clearing a sector never spends a life.

Three ways to power up

  • Shield: a cyan hexagon protects you from one impact.
  • Magnet: a pink M pulls nearby crystals towards your ship for eight seconds.
  • Slow motion: a green clock slows debris for eight seconds while your ship keeps its normal speed.

Chase a best score

Flying earns five points per second. Crystals score 25 times your sector, and clearing a sector pays a 100-times-sector bonus. Your best stays on your device, and finished runs join the leaderboard with the sector you reached.

Pause with Esc or the footer button whenever you need a breather. Visit the Support guides for all the rules.
