✦ AI summary

Runner is a decent time-attack experience where players enjoy optimizing routes and perfecting their runs, but the floaty movement mechanics and imprecise collision detection undermine its speedrunning credentials. Players feel the game lacks depth and would benefit from additional movement mechanics like wall-jumping, velocity modifiers such as sliding boosts or fast-falling, and more cohesive visual design. While it offers some fun as a casual speedrunning attempt, most feel it needs refinement to justify a purchase.

Decently fun for what it is. The movement is too floaty and the collision too imprecise to really qualify as a "speedrunning" game. That said, I still found myself enjoying the process of optimizing my times and finding the best routes through a level. I would have appreciated some additional movement mechanics to spice things up, such as wall-jumping. It's also my opinion that the player's velocity does not need to be constant at all times. While sliding the player could gain a slight speed boost. While in mid-air, the player could hold the "down" button to fast-fall. Small additions like this would make finding those optimal routes more interesting. Art could also use some work. There is not much cohesion in the theme and color choices - simple polygons and a higher-contrast background would be more visually appealing to me. Overall, you could do much worse for $1.99.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
