How to Play Run Away

On the desktop, use the keyboard keys move. Press the left and right arrow keys to jump. Press and hold the Z key to jump. The longer you hold, the higher your jump.

On a touchscreen device, tap on the onscreen controls to move with your fingers as you would on a keyboard. The left and right buttons are on the bottom left while the jump button is on the bottom right.

Basic Gameplay Advice

Your task is to hop from one platform to another until you reach the level’s exit. Use boxes with arrows as trampolines to give your jumps a much-needed boost.

The game has 30 levels, which are unlocked sequentially. You can come back and replay any of the levels you’ve previously beaten. Your web browser automatically saves your level progress.

The game’s main hazards are spikes and lava. Touch these and you instantly die and must replay the level from the beginning. You get infinite lives in this game, though each time you die you restart at the beginning of the level.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

To clear various areas of a level, you must often do a very precisely controlled jump, which puts you in a lot of situations where you must be very careful when moving. For instance, to make large jumps, you might need to start the jump very close to spikes. Other times, you need to jump as high as you can to make a leap that clears the spikes.

Whether you can use the trampoline boxes is another factor you must carefully consider. Sometimes, you must avoid jumping on them lest you get hit by spikes on the ceiling. Other times, you have to jump using the trampolines then make abrupt turns while on them to reach where you need to go.

After jumping, you can move left or right to slow down your descent. If you jump off a trampoline and miss your target platform, see if you can drift back down to the trampoline to start again.
