''Run'' is a 2008 3-D [[WebGames browser-based]] EndlessRunningGame by [[https://www.kongregate.com/accounts/player_03 player_03]]. It's much like other endless runners, except that every time you touch a wall, [[GravityScrew it becomes the new floor]]. [[RecycledInSpace In space.]]

It has two sequels. ''Run 2'' introduces another player, adds optional bonuses, and makes the levels significantly blockier. ''Run 3'' reverts to the old tunnels, adds an infinite running mode, an ExcusePlot, and plenty of new characters.

!![[AdaptationExpansion Run 3]] provides examples of:
* AdaptationExpansion:
** Has significantly more content (in terms of both story and gameplay) than either of the first two games.
** The mobile app adds even more content, like an achievements system and an infinite running mode.
* CloudCuckoolander: The majority of the cast.
* ExcusePlot: Some of the characters want to go home. Some of them would rather explore. Some of them are animals. Well, it doesn't really matter; just run.
* SamusIsAGirl: Turns out that the [[FacelessProtagonist Runner]], the main protagonist of the first two games, is female.
* SuperJump: Some of the characters can do this, namely the Rabbit and Lizard.
* TemporaryPlatform: Type 1. Grey tiles (and all adjacent ones) fall if you touch them. Luckily, you have time to jump.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Averted. The characters are either male or female (with the exception of the Bunny and Lizard), but there's no clear way of telling which is which.

Added DiffLines:

* HeroicMime: The player character never talks. [[SubvertedTrope Until the third game, that is.]] Even then, it's only in speech bubbles.
* MalevolentArchitecture: It's not actively trying to kill you, but it's certainly not making forward progress easy.
* NoOshaCompliance: Gaping holes in the floor to the point where it can barely be called a floor? Why are you even here? Lampshaded by the barrier at the beginning of Run 3 that warns you of unsafe ground.
* NoPlotNoProblem: You're in strangely geometrical tunnels. Who cares why you're there? Just run!
* OneHitpointWonder: Fall? You have to start from the beginning.
