A decade of popularity
Classics like Subway Surfers and Temple Run paved the way for runner games 10 years ago. Players love and know the mechanic well, which is why we see them in the top charts so often.
Quick to develop
30-second levels and basic player skills make runners relatively quick and easy to build. Speed up development even more with Unity’s runner templates.
Scale up
Runners have the most sub-genres of any category, like ASMR, decision-making, or gain/lose – giving you more options to attract a wider group of players.
