About

Canopy Run

Features
Read full description

Zip, walk and glide through a wild world. Canopy Run is a free 3D adventure across forests, waterfalls, torchlit caves, a palm-lined ocean bay, a lava tube and a prehistoric valley. Time your swings and brief leg tucks, choose branching routes and avoid wildlife, boats, dinosaurs and pickaxe-carrying mole people. Cross a swaying rope bridge with broken boards, then take off in a hang glider. Steer past pursuing eagles and bees, find the distant landing tower and return to the zip line. Swing into health packs and yellow speed boosts. At full health, health packs become boosts. The first boost doubles your speed; collect another before it expires to reach 4x speed. Each pickup adds three seconds. Orange mystery boxes may give you three automatic loops, an eight-second protective back shield, or Katnip with six small, meowing kittens on the ground. Build clean-pass streaks, earn close-call bonuses and beat your distance record as the course loops and speeds up. Choose Easy, Medium or Hard, a boy or girl rider, and imperial or metric units. Game Center is optional, with separate distance leaderboards for each difficulty. Play offline without an account. No ads or in-app purchases.
