About

Wade Runner

Features
Read full description

Wade Runner is a dark obstacle course runner with a mechanic no other game has — your detective can only see when he stops. Chemical exposure stole Wade's vision mid-run. Sprint through a noir city, dodge obstacles by memory and reflex, then stop for a split second to scan what's ahead. Every stop is a gamble. Every run is a risk. HOW TO PLAY • Tap to jump over obstacles • Swipe down to slide under barriers • Stop running to restore your vision — but every second counts • The longer you run blind, the higher your score FEATURES • Unique "stop to see" mechanic — never seen in any other runner game • Noir detective atmosphere with hand-crafted visuals • Speed ramps up the longer you survive • Leaderboard — beat your personal best and compete globally • Jump, slide and stop controls — simple to learn, hard to master • Free to play THE CHALLENGE Can you memorize the obstacle patterns? Run blind and rack up distance. Stop too often and you lose momentum. Stop too rarely and you crash. Find your rhythm — then beat it. Think you can out-run the darkness? Download Wade Runner — the blind runner that punishes panic and rewards patience.
