Crowd Runner

Crowd Runner is a one-finger running game about turning a handful of little jelly people into an army. Drag left and right to steer your crowd down the track and pick your gate: x3 and +20 make the crowd swell, -15 and /2 cut it down. Get it right and a dozen runners become hundreds by the time you reach the end.

The track fights back. Saws slide across it, hammers swing, crushers drop, flame jets and lasers sweep the lanes, boulders roll at you and TNT waits to be triggered - each one taking a bite out of your crowd but never ending the run on its own. Get to the finish and your runners pile up the victory stairs: the more of them you brought, the higher you climb and the bigger the payout. Some levels end at a boss instead, and there it is simply your numbers against his.

Levels are generated, so they never run out, and they roll through eight themes - forest, snow, desert, night, autumn, candy, beach, volcano. Coins buy permanent upgrades (a bigger starting crowd, better income, richer coins), one-run boosts (extra runners, a shield, double coins) and fifteen jelly skins, from plain blue to cowboy, viking, angel and king. There is a seven-day login reward and a treasure chest that opens every three wins.
