About

Run Dummy

Features
Read full description

Run Dummy is a 3D maze runner starring a crash-test dummy on the loose in a neon laboratory. Steer with simple tank controls, memorize the corridors, and reach the reward well before the clock runs out. THE LAB IS BOOBY-TRAPPED Every trial hides hazards between you and the exit: spinning blades, floor spikes, dart launchers, crumbling tiles, moving walls, one-way doors, teleporters, and pressure switches that open gates across the maze. The walls can't hurt you — the traps will. RUN. REMEMBER. ESCAPE. - 35 trials across 5 chapters, from gentle warm-up lattices to the deep lab - A chase camera with a rear-view mirror, so nothing sneaks up behind you - Tactile haptics, footstep audio, and a moody synth soundtrack - Up to 3 stars per trial: finish the run, beat the target time, stay nearly untouched - Chase camera tuned for long corridors and split-second turns UNLOCK THE CREW Chain wall streaks — clean runs without kissing the walls — to unlock new runners, each with its own look: Dummy, Bolt, Bulwark, Wraith, and Gilded. Star collectors can earn fresh ball-skin finishes too. FREE POWER-UPS Grab power-ups from the Power-Ups screen before a big attempt: Speed Boost, Shield, Long Jump, Time Freeze, and Extra Hearts. Every power-up is included free — equip as many as you like. There are no purchases, no subscriptions, and no ads anywhere in the game. Only the traps can stop you. How far can you run?
