About

Puffer Run

Features
Read full description

Puffer Run is about a pufferfish that needs air to rise, but a fully puffed fish doesn’t fit anywhere. Hold your finger on the screen to puff up and float. Let go to deflate and sink. Easy, until you’re perfectly round in front of a tight gap. • One-finger controls: play with one hand, anywhere • Gaps between rocks and coral, and hooks that bob up and down • Funny fails: your puffer zooms off like a popped balloon • Online leaderboard: pick a nickname and take on the world • So close? Watch an ad and keep going from where you were • Quick runs, perfect for the bus, the queue or a coffee break How many gaps can you squeeze through before you become sushi?
