Challenge the Runners

Thirty runners crowd the first heat. In Challenge the Runners, online races pull in rivals from around the world across colorful courses. Only the front pack moves on. The field drops from 30 to 18 after the opener, then trims again until 11 racers remain for the next cut. A final showdown decides who takes the winner's crown. Traps line the route, and nearby opponents try to knock you off balance to steal your place. One bad step can send a leader straight to the back of the pack. Rubies come as race rewards. New characters wait in the shop, and the pricier skins demand a bigger stash. A two-player mode also brings a friend into the obstacle race.

How to play?

Run for the finish and protect your position through the crowd. Jump across moving course parts, regain speed after a hit, and stay away from the edge when the path narrows. A stumble wastes seconds. Enter two-player mode to race beside a friend through the same rounds. Spend your rubies in the store, then switch to another runner before the next match.
