Running games, a subgenre of action games, revolve around controlling a character who continuously moves forward through a dynamically generated or pre-designed environment, requiring players to navigate obstacles, dodge hazards, and collect items while maintaining speed and momentum. These games often feature intuitive controls, such as swiping or tapping on mobile devices, to steer the character left or right, jump, slide, or perform other actions necessary to avoid obstacles and progress as far as possible. Running games commonly incorporate elements of timing, reflexes, and strategy, challenging players to react quickly to changing environments while striving for high scores or distance milestones.
