What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Vertical Runner is a simple lane-based runner where you dodge incoming walls by moving between three lanes, but players report it suffers from significant technical issues including frame rate problems that make higher difficulty unplayable and achievements that unlock incorrectly. The game also lacks a built-in soundtrack and offers minimal gameplay depth, leading most reviewers to recommend skipping it entirely due to the lack of content and poor execution.
It is what it is.5 found this helpful
0/10 into the hidden game abyss with you4 found this helpful
An infinite "runner game" where you just press "W" or "S" in order to go up and down between three lanes - top, middle and bottom. White walls come at you so you have to dodge. The game is unplayable on a higher score if you play on 144 fps. If you lower the FPS via ControlPanel (Nvidia for example) it's easier if you struggle to get 100% game completion. Achievement get unlocked upon closing the game, not by actually reaching the goal. Skip since... there is nothing to play here. It doesn't even have a soundtrack since you have to manually upload you songs in order to have background music... yep... it's that bad.2 found this helpful
