Button Run is a one-button timing game about nerve, rhythm, and clean escapes. Your runner moves automatically. You get a tiny phase window.

Features: - One-tap arcade timing with instant restarts - Fast handcrafted rooms plus a long deterministic campaign - Phase routes, risk tokens, perfect clears, and medal goals - Clean neon lab visuals with readable hazards and a tactile phase button - Offline single-player play with no account, ads, or tracking Button Run is built for players who want compact skill tests, satisfying retries, and one-more-room momentum.
