THE GAME
About The Flood Runner
A runner escapes a rising flood by crossing the platforms ahead. The route requires well-timed jumps, with the advancing water leaving little opportunity to stop and reconsider a missed landing.
How to play

- Time the next landing to keep moving ahead of the flood.
Press C to jump across gaps in the route. Time the next landing to keep moving ahead of the flood.
Game and objective
The Flood Runner is a running game whose central challenge is escaping an approaching flood.
Cross a sequence of platforms while the water follows close behind. A successful run depends on seeing the next gap early enough to land and keep moving.
How to play
Keep moving ahead of the water and use the game's displayed controls to deal with the route in front of you.
The listed jump key is C. Judge the distance to the next platform before jumping and prepare for the following gap as soon as you land; a late correction can leave too little time to clear it.
