About Pixel Runner
Pixel Runner is a retro-styled endless runner with chunky pixel art and a clean one-button control. You run automatically, and your only job is to jump over the obstacles in your path. The scrolling speed ramps up steadily, the obstacles cluster tighter, and your reflexes get tested harder with every screen.
The genius of one-button endless runners is how they boil game design down to its essence. There is no menu, no inventory, no strategy — just timing. Each run lasts under two minutes, which means you can fit a dozen attempts into a single break. And because the controls are so simple, improvement happens almost in your sleep.
This Pixel Runner is free, browser-based and works on touch, click and keyboard. There is no sign-up, no installer and no microtransactions. Your best distance is stored locally so each session has a clear target. It is one of the most replayable games on the site — exactly the kind of game that turns "one more run" into ten.

— Strategy & tips
How to win
- Tap, do not hold. Long holds make you jump too high and land too late.
- Watch the obstacles ahead, not under your feet.
- Listen to the rhythm of the scrolling. A musical beat helps timing.
- When you crash, replay immediately. Breaks reset muscle memory.
- Skip risky double-jumps if you are tired. Survival beats showmanship.
