Spiral Runner is a fast-paced arcade runner where you race along the inside of a spiraling tunnel, dodging obstacles and collecting gems as the speed climbs. TAP TO SURVIVE Control your ball with simple left/right taps. The tunnel twists, speeds up, and throws lasers, ice rings, and walls at you. One wrong move ends the run but you'll want to go again immediately. ADVENTURE MODE - 81 LEVELS ACROSS 8 WORLDS Journey through 8 hand-crafted themes: Void, Neon City, Deep Space, Jungle Vines, Candy Swirl, Ocean Depths, Mythic Greece, and Superhero. Each world has its own look, obstacles, and challenge. Complete all 81 levels to earn the ultimate completionist badge. ENDLESS MODE No levels, no checkpoints - just you, the tunnel, and a leaderboard. Chain gem pickups to build a combo multiplier and push your high score further every run. COLLECT & CUSTOMIZE • 20+ ball skins - standard, gem-purchased, and exclusive level-unlock skins • 4 trail effects - Sparkles, Fire, Rainbow, Lightning • 8 tunnel themes to play in • Equip any combination and make your run yours PRESTIGE SYSTEM Reach Level 50 and Prestige - resetting your level but earning a permanent emblem.
