About Running on Magic
Running on Magic is a runner platformer where you guide a desperate mage through obstacle-filled worlds while fleeing the Grim Reaper, jumping and floating across dynamically generated levels with vibrant pixel art. Master aerial combat by collecting magic to fuel your abilities, tackle five themed worlds across four difficulty modes, and compete on leaderboards in this accessible yet challenging adventure.


Far far away in some magic realm a mage is running hard to escape. Grim Reaper is upon him. Luckily for him, the clumsy reaper is not in a hurry. But, for how long?
In Running on Magic you take control of a desperate mage in an obstacle course to avoid Grim Reaper. Jump over blob creatures using your flying powers and survive to the end in this runner platformer featuring vibrant pixel art and dynamically created levels.


Jumping challenges. Make your way by jumping over pits and platforms in a game meant to be accessible to every player.
Aerial action. Jump, float and stomp to surpass every obstacle. Collect magic spread throughout the level to fuel these abilities and adapt to any situation.
Beautiful sceneries rendered in pixel art and catchy music to follow along. Discover each of the 5 themed worlds.
A small story with a humorous touch. Meet the Grim Reaper as they try to convince the mage to come with them and fail everytime.

You are able to enjoy an easy and cozy adventure, but if you want to try yourself...
4 different difficulties! Raise the challenge!
Every mode will speed up the game and you will find less pickups along your way. Your wizard will also have less hp.
In the hardest mode you will only have a single hit to complete your journey!

An incredible game boasting an endearing OST I've had the pleasure of listening to. The stylish visuals paired with a heartening track playing in the background makes traversing through the areas a stunning adventure I just can't get sick of. You truly feel this is a passion project - one I'm grateful getting to experience.5 found this helpful
charming, detailed pixel art and music can't save this runner game from its abysmal controls, frustrating design, and tedious waits to get back into the game upon dying. you could watch the entirety of Gettysburg in the time it takes to restart a level in this game.3 found this helpful
This game makes me smile : ) , its simple, but beautiful.3 found this helpful
Starts strong, but quickly devolves as "Gotcha" enemies frustratingly unbalance the game.2 found this helpful
I love this game! The graphics are cute, the gameplay is pleasant for any fans of platformers, and the soundtrack is absolutely amazing.1 found this helpful
A fun, albeit short sidescroller platformer. The music is really nice and by the end I wasn't surprised to see a thanks to Terry Pratchett in the credits given the themes. There's not a huge variety of obstacles to deal with and you can store three MP to either double jump and float or to stomp and disable enemies. Higher difficulty increases the scrolling speed, removes health pickups (hard), or sets your health to 1HP (ultra, unlocked after beating hard). There are no checkpoints in levels, so if you die you restart from the beginning of that level but this shouldn't be a huge issue as they're only a few minutes each. It took about 45 minutes to finish a first play on hard and about an hour on ultra. Getting all the achievements required an additional playthrough on easy or normal and then playing through all the endless levels once along with getting a pretty high score on one of them (I opted for the first level - endless appears to go faster than ultra but eventually caps its speed). Despite the short length I'd recommend giving it a shot if you like platformers.1 found this helpful
