R.U.N

Gear up for a quirky quest in R.U.N. - the only game where "Run upward, nerd!" isn't an insult, it's survival! Don your jetpack and ascend like your geeky life depends on it because, well, it does. The flood's nipping at your nerdy heels, and it's either rise up or swim down! Use your smarts to blast through the rubble, sidestep sinister snakes, and flap away from those flappy bats. Will you be the brainy hero that outpaces the watery doom, or will you just get soggy trying? Jet up, blow it up, and keep those glasses dry - remember, it*s Run upward, nerd, or it's game over!

About:

Embark on a nostalgic yet fresh adventure with R.U.N. (Run Upward Nerd), a loving nod to the classic H.E.R.O. (Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation) from 1984. As an homage to one of the quintessential games of the early '80s, R.U.N. reimagines the upward escape with a whimsical twist. Forget the helicopter-pack; here, you'll don a jetpack - a creative liberty taken partly in jest of my own artistic prowess.

In a tip of the hat to O'Riley's Mine, the thrill of the chase is amplified by an impending flood, pushing you to move with haste. The danger rises from below, ensuring that your upward journey is both urgent and exhilarating.

R.U.N. is not just a game but a labor of love, crafted in JavaScript with JQuery and an array of private libraries of my own creation. It's a programmer's playground turned into an arcade of yesteryears, inviting you to run upward, nerd - because it's not just about the destination, it's about the joyous, jet-fueled journey.
