Do you enjoy thrills and taking risks? Above all, do you enjoy roller coasters? Then Runner Coaster is made for you. Avoid many obstacles and take risks in this agility and speed game. Will you be able to bring your passengers to the end of each attraction? Each level has its own challenges. You will have to drive your wagons to avoid the bombs and impasses that will unfold during the ride. Don't forget to gather the people on your way if you want the reward to be higher, as passengers will be waiting for you along the loopings. Runner Coaster is a game inspired by roller coasters and mine trains. Your goal is simple: bring all your passengers to the end of the attraction avoiding traps and thus unlocking many surprises. For you to succeed in this mission, you will rely on your agility and that. Be careful: the longer your convoy is, the more complicated the traps will be to approach, as you will have to manage the distance between the two ends of it. Using the mechanisms of the "runner" type games, Runner Coaster offers a relaxing experience based on your ability to choose the best course on time. Speed is a key element of this game with dizzying courses and dangerous turns. At the end of each level, you will get a multiplier, depending on how many passengers completed the whole ride, and how much money you were able to collect. The more money you have, the more money you'll get to unlock unique new skins. The more people on your train, the more you will unlock new lots to ride. Our game exists thanks to advertisements. They accompany your progress in the game and for some increase your gains when you watch them. We offer a paid version without ads accessible from the game that comes with a lot of gems to compensate for multipliers that will sometimes be absent.
