Run 3 (created by Joseph Cloutier) is an iconic Flash-era platformer beautifully preserved for modern web browsers. Running through a cylindrical 3D space tunnel, players can leap against side walls, rotating the gravitational plane of the entire universe.
1. Gravity Rotation Physics
Whenever your avatar makes contact with a left or right tunnel wall, the tunnel rotates 90 degrees, turning that wall into the new floor.
[Floor] ──► Jump Left ──► Touches Left Wall ──► Entire Tunnel Rotates 90°- Skipping Obstacles via Walls: If the floor ahead is riddled with missing tiles, run up the side wall. Rotations allow you to bypass massive gaps without making high-risk linear jumps.
- Crumbly Gray Tiles: Dark gray tiles crumble and detach 0.2 seconds after being touched. Never hesitate on gray tiles; sprint continuously without stopping.
