How to play Atomic Runner online

Getting Started

The moment you press Start, Chelnov starts running forward automatically. Your job is to shoot down enemies and jump over obstacles before they slow you down or kill you. The screen scrolls at a steady pace, so you always need to stay ahead of the left edge or lose a life.

Collect health restoratives and weapon upgrades that float in the air or drop from certain enemies. The core loop is straightforward: run, jump, shoot, survive. There are several stages, each ending with a tough boss fight. Your lives are limited, and continues are available if you run out, but you'll restart from the beginning of a stage.
