RUNTIME

One more dash. One way out.

A computer crash pulls you into a world of broken signals and hostile machinery. Your way out? Keep moving. RUNTIME is a pixel-art precision platformer about turning a tricky sequence of jumps, dashes, and gravity flips into one satisfying run. Find your rhythm across ten chapters, then chase a cleaner escape, a faster time, or a rival at the finish line.

Keep the momentum.

Catch a crystal in midair to refill your dash. Change direction, link the next pickup, and carry the chain across the gap. Ride moving platforms, catch brief reveal platforms, and turn the ceiling into your route. Each section asks you to read the space, commit to your next move, and bring it all together.

Settle it at the finish line.

Challenge a friend in full-screen online Race through Steam, or side by side in local split screen. Chase the faster finish on Crystal Circuit and Polarity Relay, or settle it across a two-course series. Shake up a rematch with optional modifiers including Momentum, Ice, Air Control, and Glitch Dash, plus an optional death penalty.

Playing solo? Race a bot on Crystal Circuit with Relaxed, Standard, or Expert difficulty. Practice the chain, tighten your route, and go again whenever you want a rival.

The walls are watching.

Read the laser rhythm. Watch a wall glitch wake, break free, and give chase. You can't fight it—find your opening and escape its reach. Later chapters push your dash chains and gravity flips further as the pursuit closes in. Checkpoints keep retries close to the section you're learning.

Make it yours.

Track an achievement, take on its challenge, and build a look you love. Mix unlockable skins, items, and floating companions. Find a favorite combination—or change it up for your next run.

Build your next run.

Create and play your own routes in the level editor. Place platforms, dash crystals, gravity gates, checkpoints, and hazards; choose a theme, then jump straight into a playtest. Build a careful challenge or fill a room with crystals and see where the momentum takes you. Save your creations and explore your local levels.

Escape. Then chase your best.
