it’s actually kinda fun… don’t judge me idk why I downloaded this game, I just saw “runner” and clicked like a caveman. you basically just run, dodge stuff, and pray your reflexes don’t betray you after 2 minutes. simple life. first few runs I was like “ok this is easy” 10 minutes later I’m crashing into random objects like I owe them money. graphics are simple but kinda charming in a “my laptop from 2008 could run this while also mining bitcoin” way. is it repetitive? yeah. did I still say “one more run” like 15 times? also yeah. honestly solid if you just want to turn your brain off and pretend you’re good at gaming for 5 seconds. would I recommend? yes. will I uninstall it after 2 days? also yes.17 found this helpful
What a bad game... You can literally stay in the middle lane on the first map and get every achievement except 2. You don't have to even dodge ANYTHING. Atleast 100% Achievement is easy to get but it doesn't even have cards. No effort put into this. How to get 100% Achievements in this: 1. Go to the "Space: VOID" level. Stay in the middle lane. Press the up arrow key whenever a car approaches. Die once you get the green star achievement. 2. Go to the Christmas level (click MORE at the bottom right of level select to get to it). Stay in the middle lane. Press the up arrow key whenever a car approaches (you can still do this when there are two in a row, just jump later). Die once you get the blue star achievement. Be careful not to jump over it. 3. Go to "The Old City" level. Get in the middle lane (between the two roads). Press Alt+Tab. Wait.11 found this helpful
Captain The Runner is a template flip from Anamik Majumdar, who keeps reskinning the same lame GameMaker Studio game templates and re-releasing it on Steam with a few minor changes. The GameMaker Studio template he keeps re-releasing is just a basic retro pixel (couldn't he rip off a template with proper graphics??) 2D top down/platformer stealth/action game, although in this case he's managed to copy+paste someone elses "endless runner" template, while this is the first I've seen, I doubt it's the last based on the asset flipping pattern for this retro pixel garbage merchant. Here's some other results of his copy+paste school of "game development": [list] [*] Haunted Jail: Alcatas [*] Ghost in the Barn House [*] Gaze at Maze [*] Smash Halloween Pumpkins: The Challenge [*] The Chills [*] Gregor Hills Haunted Hospital [*] Jaxon The Thief [*] House Number 666 [*] My Haunted Doll [*] Axizon Labs: Zombies [*] The Haunted Exmone Theatre [*] Rescue Rina [*] The Haunted Tunnel [*] Heltons Haunted Hotel [*] Gaze At Maze [*] Ghost In The Barn House [*] Zack Y [*] Fight For Love [*] Captain: The Runner [/list] These are all basically the exact sa…6 found this helpful
Endless retrostyle (NES) runner game with lots achievements. Most of achievements are very easy, but couple little difficult.3 found this helpful
Captain The Runner, developed and published by Anamik Majumdar, is a straightforward arcade-style endless runner that embraces the timeless appeal of fast reflexes and high-score competition. Rather than building its experience around an elaborate storyline, the game introduces players to Captain, a thief escaping an angry crowd after stealing their belongings. This lighthearted premise serves as a fitting excuse for nonstop action, placing the emphasis entirely on survival, movement, and quick decision-making. The game's retro-inspired visuals and uncomplicated presentation make it immediately accessible, appealing to players who appreciate classic arcade experiences over modern cinematic adventures. Gameplay centers on navigating an increasingly dangerous environment filled with obstacles such as speeding vehicles, buses, water hazards, and even unexpected science fiction elements like spaceships. Every run demands constant awareness, as avoiding collisions becomes progressively more challenging the longer players survive. The controls are intentionally simple, allowing newcomers to jump in without a lengthy learning process while still offering enough challenge for those aiming…
This is an automatic runner like most mobile games today. There are a few different maps. You move through 3 different lanes of traffic to collect points. You can jump. That is all there is to it. However, the graphics are bad. The screen seems to tear when switching lanes to the point of hurting your vision. When you hit something, there isnt a game over. You just go back to the main screen. This makes the game feel unfinished. Only played long enough to get all the achievements and got this game through a bundle with other games. Avoid at all cost.
