STRIKE RUNNER

STRIKE RUNNER is a fast, one-thumb arcade runner built around a single idea: in bowling, where your ball ends up decides which pins fall, and how fast it's moving decides how many. Every lane is a gauntlet of hazards that have turned against you — and the finish line is a real bowling shot.

How it plays

Steer with your thumb. Drag to move — the ball tracks your finger 1:1. Flick quickly for an emergency dodge with a brief window of invulnerability.

Speed is your health. Every hit slows you down; run clean and you recover. Hit zero and you stall out. Cross the finish too slow and the pins won't fall.

Charge your spin, then smash. A spin gauge fills as you run. Max it out and your next contact shatters the obstacle and punches straight through. Every gate becomes a choice: thread the gap, or bulldoze it.

Finish on the line. The lane ends in a pin-eye dive. Land on the cyan pocket line at full speed for a STRIKE.

Five balls, five playstyles — each unlocked from a dock sitting right on the lane, mid-run. Straight (fastest spin), Slime (immune to oil, sticky barrier), Bounce (hops over ground hazards, smashes on landing), Anchor (shrugs off knockback), Ghost (phases through everything, but never smashes). Each has an active ability and a real weakness.

The hazards fight back — homing guard pins, shifting pin phalanxes, telegraphed sweeper bars that slam down, gutter hands that rake the edges, a ball return that fires shots back at you, and oil zones that send you skidding.

Modes — 6 hand-built lanes, then a one-life Score Attack gauntlet through all of them with a clean-run multiplier and a local leaderboard.

Fully bilingual (English / 日本語, switchable in settings). Runs offline. One file, no install.
