Rhythm Runner

Play Rhythm Runner free online. Jump a dashing cube over spikes and up blocks on a course built to the beat.

A precision one-button runner. Your cube dashes along a course whose spikes, blocks, staircases and jump pads land on a steady beat — listen for the tick. Tap to jump, hold to keep jumping as soon as you land. One touch of a spike or a block’s face sends you back to the start. Each difficulty is a fixed course: learn it and reach 100%.

How to play Rhythm Runner

Objective: Reach the end of the course (100%) without crashing.

  1. The cube runs by itself. Jump over white spikes.
  2. You can land on top of blocks and run along them, but hitting a block’s side is a crash.
  3. Yellow pads launch you extra high.
  4. Obstacles are placed on the beat — the ticking sound helps with timing.

Scoring

Your score is how far you got, in percent. Finishing scores 100.

Difficulty levels

Easy: slow course with single spikes and low blocks. Normal: faster, with triple spikes and jump pads. Hard: the fastest course with the toughest patterns.

Tips

  • Jump at the last moment for spikes, but early for staircases.
