Line Runners: Hold Your Footing on a Pencil-Thin Path

What is Line Runners?

Your runner never stops moving along a path drawn as thin as a pencil line. Spikes, broken sections and shifting obstacles sit on it, and timing is the only weapon you have.

How to play

A single tap jumps; the running continues by itself, so there is nothing to speed up or slow down. Staying on the line is compulsory: touch a spike or drop into a gap and the run ends at once. The tempo rises as the path unrolls and obstacles crowd together, which shortens the window between your jumps. Your score is the distance you cover, so each attempt is about getting a few steps past the last one.

Tips

• Jump a step before the obstacle rather than right at it, because a thin line gives you a narrow landing spot.
• Against spikes in a row, one long jump is far safer than two short hops.
• When the tempo rises change the rhythm of your taps, not their count; panicked mashing drops you into a gap.
