About the game

Run 3 is the third and most ambitious installment in the popular Run series, developed by Joseph Cloutier. Players control a small grey alien running through a series of tunnels floating in outer space, where tiles constantly crumble and fall away into the void below. What makes Run 3 unique among endless runners is its gravity-defying tunnel mechanic — you can run on the walls and ceiling of the tunnel, and the entire structure rotates as you shift position. This creates a mind-bending 3D platforming experience where spatial awareness is just as important as quick reflexes. The game features two modes: Explore Mode with 309 hand-crafted levels of increasing difficulty, and Infinite Mode with procedurally generated endless tunnels. Players can unlock multiple characters, each with distinct abilities — the Skater glides over gaps, the Lizard has a long jump, and the Bunny can bounce high. Run 3 has become a classroom and office favorite, beloved for its simple controls, clever level design, and the satisfying challenge of navigating an ever-more-precarious path through space.

How to Play Run 3

  • Use arrow keys or WASD to move left and right. Press Space or Up to jump over gaps where tiles have fallen away into the void.
  • Run onto the walls to rotate the tunnel — this lets you reach platforms that seem impossible from your current angle. Think in 3D to find paths forward.
  • In Explore Mode, complete levels to progress the story and unlock new characters. In Infinite Mode, survive as long as possible while collecting power cells to unlock more characters.
