Q-Runner is characterized as an action game, linear in design with no end, without pauses or breaks for rest and no stages or changing levels. It has one continuous level. The game difficulty starts slow and easy. Venues include paths, streets/roads and tracks. As the game speeds up, the players character appears to run faster and faster as if on a giant treadmill. Obstacles approach faster and faster, requiring ever faster reactions. The game eventually becomes so fast. The player succumbs to the intensity and it’s game over. Ironically they’re called “endless”, because for players they’re anything but that. For most the end comes far too soon.
