RunMan: Race Around the World is a high-speed indie platformer that puts momentum and pure joy at the forefront. You control a lively, brightly colored mascot as you sprint, jump, and crash through hand-drawn environments that look like they were pulled straight from a child's sketchbook. Accompanied by an energetic soundtrack of public-domain jazz and ragtime, the goal is simply to reach the finish line of every level as fast as humanly possible.
A typical run relies on building and maintaining maximum speed, using your dash to smash right through obstacles and enemies without slowing down. The short, bite-sized levels are built for replayability, encouraging you to memorize layouts, take bold shortcuts, and constantly shave seconds off your personal best times across varied global environments.
Controls

- Z – Jump (hold to jump higher)

Tips
- Never stop moving – Your momentum is your greatest asset. Try to chain jumps and dashes seamlessly.
- Dash through danger – The dash attack makes you practically invincible while moving forward, so use it aggressively to break walls and blast past enemies.
- Look for skips – Many levels feature alternate routes or gaps you can clear with a well-timed dash mid-air.
With its vibrant crayon aesthetic and blisteringly fast gameplay, this game is perfect for speedrunners and anyone looking for a chaotic, upbeat arcade platforming experience.
