On The Run
A flat cinematic runner where every jump, strike, and slide is built around an EDM pulse.
Run. Strike. Slide. Do not stop.

On The Run is a minimalist high-speed runner about momentum, panic, and clean reads under pressure. Sprint across collapsing industrial rooftops, burst through glass, dodge hazards, and crash through hostile stickmen before the city eats you alive.
Built around a stark flat-color look, sharp silhouettes, and music-reactive energy, it is meant to feel immediate: one button to start, no fuss, just rhythm, impact, and survival.
*inspired by Canabalt*
