THE PACK EVOLVES • Cyber stalkers, fast scout darts and heavy brutes — each hunts differently • Crowned ELITES rule every 3rd level with telegraphed dashes • Their brain retrains on your real runs. The "GEN" counter shows how much they've learned ABSORB WILD SKILLS • SAW BLADES — twin cutters orbit you and shred the pack • METEOR LEAP — auto-vault doomed catches and slam down on landing • HOLO DECOY — plant a hologram and watch them swarm the wrong runner • OVERDRIVE, BLASTER turret, AEGIS repulsor, freeze, cloak and more A LIVING ARENA • Multi-story levels — ride lift pads between up to 5 stacked floors • Sweeping lasers with a travelling safe gap, shrinking rings, void mines • Launch-pad rockets, cargo yards and a giant satellite dish on boss levels THREE WAYS TO RUN • CLASSIC — endless levels against an ever-smarter pack • DAILY HUNT — the same arena for everyone on Earth, one leaderboard • BLITZ — a 2-minute score rush GAME CENTER Leaderboards, achievements — and on iOS 26, challenge friends to Survival Duels right from the Games app. No ads.
