Sprint across a night rail yard, vault barriers, slide under signal gantries and dodge oncoming trains!
About the game
Metro Runner is a fast, hard-edged endless runner set in a city rail yard at midnight. You control a hooded street runner with three tracks ahead, orange sodium lamps overhead and lit skyscrapers on the horizon. Swipe left or right to switch tracks, swipe up to vault red and white barriers and swipe down to slide under yellow and black signal gantries, throwing sparks from your shoes as you go. Parked freight cars act like walls and cannot be jumped, so you have to pick the right track early to get past them. The real danger is the oncoming trains: a warning sign flashes, the headlights light up the rails and the train closes in at twice your speed. Let one roar past on the next track and time slows down for a big near miss bonus. Grabbing coins back to back builds a streak multiplier. Your speed climbs every second and waves of obstacles hit at regular intervals, so lasting a few minutes takes real reflexes. Your best score is saved on your device. Play free with swipes on a phone or the arrow keys on a computer, no download needed.
