Run 3

Run 3 is an endless platformer game, with its gravity defying gameplay set within crumbling cylindrical tunnels in space. This captivating game offers players a wide array of challenges, with its meticulously designed levels, precise platforming, and a variety of characters, each with their different abilities. 

Game Overview

Run 3 focuses upon an alien character that the player is meant to guide through an endless runner and platformer. Players will guide this alien through gravity bending cylindrical tunnels designed in space. You will be avoiding gaps, crumbling platforms, and manipulating gravity at will, to run on the floor, the walls, and even the ceiling. 

A core feature of this game are its rotating tunnels, which makes this platformer a gem amongst its competing titles. Quickly jumping from floor to ceiling will make players almost feel like a superhero, gliding through space. This elevates the game from being a simple platformer to spatial puzzle, testing your awareness at every given point.

Game Modes

Explore Mode

This mode offers players with over 300+ levels that have been arranged in your galactic travels. Each level is crossed once the last tile has been jumped over. Most levels include several different paths, however the end destination remains the same. During their journey players will also encounter hidden tunnels that will be added to your map for later exploration. 

This mode also serves as the story mode, where players will meet and unlock new playable characters, each with their own distinct abilities. So keep progressing to unlock new tunnels, characters, and find out the reason why all the planets are disappearing through a montage of cutscenes!

Infinite Mode

This endless mode offers a randomly generated linear tunnel which becomes increasingly difficult as players progress forward. The only aim of this mode is to survive for as long as possible, without falling off into space. This mode creates a high score for players that is later displayed on the leaderboard. 

List of Characters

Run 3 has a total of ten unlockable characters, each of which have their own unique abilities. The list of characters and all their abilities have been stated down below.

Runner

She is the default character that the players can choose, and is a very well balanced character with stats that can beat any level designed within the game. This makes her a very easy character to use that can be relied upon in any given situation.

Skater 

He is one of the fastest characters in the game, thanks to his rollerblades that glide across the tunnel. Skater however does have a lower than average jump height, however being faster, allows him to go farther. One weakness he suffers from is his low maneuverability, so levels that require sideways movement will pose a threat.

Lizard

He is the slowest character in the game, but also possesses an uncontrollably high jump. This pair makes Lizard a preferable choice since he also has a significantly higher maneuverability. Though in cases where he fails a level a lot, he would become slower, until eventually going back to sleep after becoming frustrated.

Bunny

Bunny is the fastest runner, and highest jumper in the game, and also has high maneuverability but it does not make him the easiest character to control. Since bunny never stops bouncing, controlling him is very tough. However, to get around this problem players can press jump which would slow down their speed. 

Gentleman

Equipped with an electromagnet, Gentleman has the special ability to be magnetized towards powercells. This ability is activated by pressing the jump button, which automatically attracts him towards the power cell, though this ability takes quite some time to master. 

Duplicator

The Duplicator makes the game much more forgiving by creating projections of himself, which can be called his “duplicates”. This ability can be used to create up to 6 total duplicates that mimic his actions, and in case he falls down into space, it would switch his position with one of the duplicates. 

Child

Child is considered to be one of the only “light weight” characters in the game since he has the ability to run on cracked tiles without breaking them. However, Child has very low maneuverability which makes it harder to move him from side to side, despite being a very slow character.

Pastafarian

She has the unique ability to create a bridge of bright tiles that can fill up empty spaces. Though players cannot run on these imaginary tiles forever since her bridge has a limited range around solid tiles. This ability is very useful since it allows players to cross levels by running on areas that would normally be empty. 

Student 

Student is one of the slowest characters in the game, equipped with the ability to simply disable gravity every time she jumps. Her speed, and gravity disabling abilities makes her the most convenient choice to speed run and clear all levels. However, strategy is required since she can float into space, resetting your progress. 

Angel

Though a seemingly simple character, Angel has the ability to dash mid air, and gain a significant amount of speed which he will retain for a short while once he lands back onto his feet. Jumping mid dash will also move much farther. However, this ability can only be used once before Angel has to land back onto the ground. 

Tips and Tricks

Light Taps vs. Holds

Make sure to use a mix of both light taps, and holds depending upon if you want to make a short hop, or make a long leap. Precision is key to winning this game, which means that your jumps not only have to be timed right, but also need to be taking you far enough. 

Character Matching

Different characters will have different advantages in levels. Play around with the players until you find the perfect one, to make a level significantly easier. This is beneficial since it allows players to explore and apply the different abilities of all the different characters. 

Infinite Practice

Utilize infinite mode with all the different characters to platform better and learn how to fully learn to utilize their abilities to your advantage. This helps in creating muscle memory, and finger stamina to jump rapidly and accurately. 

FAQs

How do I unlock new characters?

Some characters will automatically be unlocked once players have cleared certain levels. Though if a player wishes, they can collect enough money to buy them as well. 

What difference does the explore and infinite mode have?

The only difference between explore and infinite mode is that explore has a story mode attached to it, while infinite is simply just an endless platformer.

How many levels are available?

The levels available in the game are well over 300 in number. A new level is only unlocked once its predecessor has been cleared. Also, these levels are arranged in an easiest, to hardest difficulty setting. 

Are my characters customizable? 

Your unlocked characters are not customizable in this version of the game. 

Is there a storyline in this game?

Yes, there is a storyline in this game, and it is motivated by the missing home planet of all our beloved aliens that has led to this ever-going space tunnel exploration. 

Leaving so soon?

In case you haven’t found your home planet yet, but are itching to float into a different direction, it might be a good idea to set your GPS to Extreme Run 3D, and explore a neon themed tunnel and survive for as long as you can.
