About

Rave Grid Runner

Features
Read full description

A raver is looking for a party in a world made of sound systems. Speakers stack to the ceiling, lasers never stop, and the only way through is forward. Rave Grid Runner is an endless runner that moves on the beat. Swipe left and right between three lanes, swipe up to jump, swipe down to slide under the light rigs. The corridor throws parade trucks, gantries, tunnels, and oncoming carts at you, and it gets faster the longer you stay on your feet. Run along a club facade, and you flip off it for a fat bonus. Buildings fly by in the dark, and the ones you can run up are worth the most. Grab the hoverboard, the magnet or the neon wing when they come past, and pick your raver from a cast of seven. - Three lanes, four moves, straight into the run - Wall saltos off club facades, worth three times an ordinary one - Seven ravers, each with their own outfit - Hoverboard, magnet and wing power-ups - Music and sound effects each have their own switch, and you can pause at any time - No account, no ads, no purchases, and it works with the phone in flight mode
