Endless Runner Games

An endless runner has no finish line, which sounds like a flaw until you notice it is the whole point. There is nothing to complete, only a number to beat, and the number is always just barely out of reach. These run in the browser, restart the moment you crash, and ask nothing of your hardware. Good for the kind of five-minute window where starting a real game would be pointless.

Endless Runner Games FAQ

What is the difference between these and a platformer?

You never stop moving forward, so the only decisions are lane, jump and timing. A platformer lets you wait and study a hazard; a runner makes hesitation itself the mistake, which is why they suit short sessions better.

Do endless runners have an ending?

No, and that is the design rather than an omission. There is nothing to complete, only a distance to beat, so the game ends when you make a mistake instead of when you finish something.
