RE:RUN

What Is RE:RUN?

RE:RUN is a browser-based, high-speed 3D platformer that challenges the player to rethink the very fundamentals of combat and movement. What is most unusual about RE:RUN is its rewinding feature: every time you pick up a power-up, the character gets sent back to the start point—but everything else in the environment remains exactly as it is. This seemingly mundane aspect transforms otherwise linear level progression into a frenetic puzzle of memory, anticipation, and timing.

Designed specifically for fans of precision platforming and action strategy, RE:RUN is a fresh take on the genre that's as fun as it is challenging. It's ideal for casual gamers looking for something smart, fun, and free to play right within the browser.

Gameplay: Rethink Every Fight

In RE:RUN, you're tasked with killing all of the enemies in a 3D floating arena filled with platforms, traps, and power-ups. But with a twist: whenever you acquire a new weapon or buff, you rewind to spawn point—your position is reset, but the position of the world around you remains the same.

You need to make this work for you, taking advantage of memory, movement, and timing. One miscalculated pick-up wastes all you've worked for or puts you in a risky spot. Every arena becomes a strategic sandbox where timing, planning, and knowing the enemy patterns are more important than brute force.

How to Play RE:RUN

Controls:

• WASD / Arrow Keys: Character movement
• Mouse Movement: Camera view control
• Left Click: Attack
• Spacebar: Jump
• Shift (Hold): Sprint

Tips for Mastery

• Don't collect every power-up—choose when and why to pick it up.
• Use rewinds to move into position or escape a tight situation.
• Learn enemy patterns before attacking.
• Treat each fight like a loop—project what the next "run" will feel like.

Why RE:RUN Succeeds

Intelligent Rewind Mechanic

Instead of rewinding by seconds, RE:RUN returns you to where you started after a power-up. This introduces a powerful layer of strategy: acquiring more potent equipment can completely shift combat dynamics.

Strategic Depth

Each decision matters. Combat is not just a fight—it's predicting how the battlefield will evolve when it gets rewound. Linear progression is not an option here. You're trapped in a loop of smart decisions and precise timing.

Engaging Combat and Exploration

From floating islands to tight corridors, RE:RUN's maps offer exciting terrain that complements its bold combat system. You’ll dodge, leap, and slice your way through creatively designed arenas.

Play Smarter, Not Harder

RE:RUN isn't another action-platformer—its a strategic adventure marbled with thrilling motion and lightning-quick play. Play for challenge or for the fresh twist on the genre, either way, RE:RUN will keep your brain working and reacting second by second.
