Read full description

STRONK! Runner is a fast, funny prehistoric endless runner. Play as StrongBoi, a mighty little caveman, and smash your way through 27 levels across ten wild worlds! Sprint over sun-baked deserts, through lush jungles, frozen glaciers, erupting volcanoes and glittering crystal temples - then push on into a fog-choked swamp, a bone-white graveyard, a field of boiling geysers, a pitch-dark cave lit only by giant glowing mushrooms, and a sunny tidal flat where the sea rolls in. Time your jumps, duck under hazards and swing your club to send charging sabertooths, snakes, giant bugs and cheeky dinosaurs flying. FEATURES โ€ข 27 hand-crafted levels across 10 prehistoric worlds โ€ข Simple one-handed controls - tap to jump, duck and club โ€ข Punch your way past mammoths, crocodiles, magma golems, reef crabs and more โ€ข Every world brings its own creatures, hazards, music and ambience โ€ข Chase your own best run on the local high-score board โ€ข Separate music and sound-effect toggles โ€ข Colorful cartoon art and a big, goofy hero โ€ข Free to play - jump in and go!
