A run-and-jump game above the clouds

BreakRun

Run, jump, reach the flag.

You are a young sky-keeper with a coral scarf. Run across floating islands and rope bridges, bonk blocks for sunstones, stomp the wind-up robots and find the crystal hidden in every level. Three levels, from the Dawn Forest to the Storm Peaks, where the Gearwarden waits at the top.

BreakRun gameplay: the sky-keeper runs across a rope bridge at dawn toward a wind-up robot, with sunstones floating overhead — `←→` run / `Space` jump / `Shift` dash / Gamepads work too Open full page

How it plays

Run. Jump. Reach the flag.

RunLeft to rightAcross islands, rope bridges, crumbling clouds and old fort ruins. Each level teaches a trick, then tests it.
JumpBonk and stompHold jump to go higher. Bonk blocks from below for sunstones, and land on robots to stop them.
FlagReach the towerLight the checkpoint flag halfway through, then climb to the flag tower at the end of the level.

Three levels and a boss

From dawn to the storm.

01
Dawn Forest
Learn the ropes

Rope bridges, windmills and your first robots, under a lilac morning sky.
02
Sandstone Mesas
Higher and wider

Long jumps between red rock towers, hopping robots and puffballs drifting in the heat.
03
Storm Peaks
Mind the gusts

Rain, crumbling clouds and gusts of wind that push you back. You get a warning before each one.
04
The Gearwarden
The last climb

A clockwork giant guards the top of the peaks. Learn its moves, then stomp it three times.

The sky-keeper runs along a sandstone ledge toward a higher mesa with a row of sunstones — Every level hides a crystal

Powers and secrets

Two powers. One secret a level.

Sunboxes hold sunstones, and sometimes a power. Take a hit and you lose the power, not the run.

Glider cape
Hold jump in the air to float down slowly and cross gaps you could never jump.
Gust dash
A burst of wind that carries you forward and smashes blocks in your way.
Sunstones
Collect 100 for an extra life. Some blocks hide a life of their own.
The hidden crystal
One per level, tucked somewhere off the main path. The game remembers which ones you found.

After the story

Race your ghost. Run the daily.

Time trial
Replay any level you've cleared against the clock. Your best run comes along as a ghost, with splits at the checkpoint.
Daily run
One level and one twist a day, the same for everyone: a sunstone hunt, bare hands with no powers, a one-hit glass run or a gale day.

FAQ

Questions

Is BreakRun free?

Yes. No ads, no account and nothing to buy.

How do I play?

On a computer, run with the arrow keys or A and D, jump with Space, W or the up arrow, and dash with Shift once you find the gust dash. On a phone, on-screen buttons appear, and you can make them bigger or move the jump button to the other side in Settings. Gamepads work too.

How long is BreakRun?

Three levels, each a few minutes long the first time through, with a boss at the end of the third. Then the time trial and the daily run keep going.

Where is my progress saved?
