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 โข 27 hand-crafted levels across 10 prehistoric worlds โข Simple one-handed controls - tap to jump, duck and club โข Punch your way past mammoths, crocodiles, magma golems, reef crabs and more โข Every world brings its own creatures, hazards, music and ambience โข Chase your own best run on the local high-score board โข Separate music and sound-effect toggles โข Colorful cartoon art and a big, goofy hero โข Free to play - jump in and go! Grab your club, flex those caveman muscles and go STRONK!
