About this game
World Runner crosses worlds occupied by Drax’s forces and faces Serpent Beasts at the end of each. The control pad changes running speed, while jumping handles the route’s obstacles. Each world’s parts must be completed before their time runs out. Tall columns release items when struck. A missile adds shooting, protective items offer temporary safety, and stopwatches extend the timer. Choosing to approach a column therefore also means seeking resources for the route ahead.
