What are Running Games?

Running Games, also referred to as Endless Runner, is a video gaming genre that focuses on reaching a new distance or getting from point A to point B through running, flying, rolling, jumping, hopping, and other means without the use of a vehicle. Running in video games was a mechanic introduced specifically for Mobile. As of today, more and more video games have incorporated running into their systems. These games often challenge the player's reaction speed, as well as hand-eye coordination. Running games focus on reaching the destination with the fastest time (commonly referred to as speed-run) or reaching the farthest distance and earning the highest score.

Origin of Running Games

Video games started with a focus on discovery and exploration. Games relied solely on the players finding out the secrets to the area, getting over obstacles, and surviving the journey. But as systems improved and games evolved, a question popped up: 'How can players get to their destinations faster?'.

In 2009, a game called Canabalt pioneered the genre called Endless Runner. This game shared some elements of the known racing games but took out the player's control over the speed and direction. Instead, the player is given one control - to jump. As simple as it is, this formula led to many variants - some introduced new elements to the genre and created the Running Games we know today. Some of the most popular Endless Running Games in history are Flappy Bird, Sonic Dash, Minion Rush, and the sensational Temple Run. Now users are lining up to finish games faster, looking for shortcuts, items, and other mechanics to stay ahead of the rest.
