Accidental Runner

Accidental Runner is a fast game similar to the endless runner / auto-run platformer games. It has different stages each with a different goal, showing a character running in place. The character can only be moved left and right, although some stages offer vertical movement or the ability to jump. The art assets are largely borrowed from those bundled with UnrealEngine4.

The different stages can be selected from the title screen. There are seven stages available there, but through a key it is also possible to enter a stage called '12'. In the first one the character needs to avoid plants that approach in patterned waves. In the second one you are on top of a small arch and you need to avoid floating carpets. The third one has the character in the air on the floating carpet and you need to avoid the gunfire by a helicopter. This stage offers vertical movement as well. The fourth stage is similar to the first one, but you avoid vehicles. In the fifth one you avoid falling rocks and in the sixth one spikes that come out of the ground. The seventh stage is different as you need to collect 25 coins that fall out of the sky. Stage 12, accessed directly through a keyboard key, shows the character on a rock in the water where he needs to avoid sinking.

Each stage has a goal, but no reward or score is provided. In all stages except number five, a single collision ends the level. Optionally the game can be played cooperatively with another player on the same screen. When one character is dead, it is possible to mark the spawning location and then continue. It is possible to switch between a first-person and third-person perspective at any moment.
