About Barbarian Run

It is an endless running game where distance is what counts, so a high score means a long run.

Obstacles block the path and monster enemies stand in your way, so you keep deciding whether to jump, slide or fight. The speed builds the whole time, and it climbs fast.

Key features

  • You play a barbarian running for distance on a path with no finish line.
  • Jumping, sliding and attacking each have their own key.
  • Monsters can be smashed instead of only dodged.
  • The running speed rises quickly the longer you last.
  • The hero and the world are drawn in a pixel art style.

Tips & tricks

  • Watch the path ahead and pick your move before an obstacle reaches you, because the time to react shrinks as the speed climbs.
  • The pace is slowest at the start, so use that stretch to learn the timing of jumps and slides, the core skill you need once things speed up.

Frequently asked questions

Does Barbarian Run get faster as you play?
Yes. The speed keeps building during a run, and it rises quickly.
How do you deal with monsters?
Press Spacebar to smash them. Fighting is part of this arcade runner along with jumping and sliding.
