Sonic Runner is a high-speed platformer where you control a character who dashes and jumps across a series of levels. The game's focus is on pure movement and timing, requiring the player to time jumps and dashes to navigate obstacles and collect coins.
The main objective is to reach the exit of each level without falling off a platform or failing to make a jump. You control the character with a simple keyboard layout, using acceleration and brake keys to manage speed and steer. Sonic Runner runs directly in your web browser, requiring no download or registration.
