Runner Tom

A dog with bad intentions is the whole problem in Runner Tom. Tom was just walking down the street, minding his business, when a relentless canine decided to make him its next target. Now he runs, and he doesn't stop.

Hurdles appear underfoot, birds swoop low, spiders drop from above — the street is anything but clear. Swiping up launches Tom into a jump, swiping down sends him into a crouch, and the margin for error shrinks the longer you survive. Missing a beat usually means the dog catches up.

Scores climb with every obstacle cleared, and scattered power-ups can buy Tom a little breathing room when things get hectic. The run never plays out quite the same way twice, which keeps the challenge from feeling stale. It's a straightforward concept, but staying focused for longer stretches is harder than it looks.
