MicroPets Runner is a classic side-scrolling endless runner where players dodge monsters and obstacles as they move faster and faster through the various maps, collecting coins along the way. One wrong move means starting all over from the beginning. Power ups are available in the shop or collected throughout their run, slowing down time with the snail, using the shield to avoid all obstacles or picking up a magnet to ensure not a single coin is missed! Featured are six stunning environments, each with its own obstacles: Snow, Desert, Jungle, City, Factory & Space! MicroPets Runner is built by Cubix, an award-winning development studio.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MicroPets Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MicroPets Runner has 74 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Action's written reviews are positive against 84% of MicroPets Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Action ships an update every 2 weeks, MicroPets Runner fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
