How To Play

Run, Hold, Jump and Survive!

So what do you actually do in Running the Tubes? Imagine that you are in a large pipe and you can run on three distinct surfaces - the floor, the walls and the ceiling.

Observation

Before moving, carefully observe the path ahead. You need to read the ever-changing "map" of the pipeline.

Movement

Use the arrow keys to change lanes. You can run on walls or ceilings when the lane below is broken.

Jump

Press the space bar to jump over gaps.

Survivability

There are three main types of surface you will come across on your voyage and you will need to concentrate completely:

  • Hard Platforms: A good foundation for a nice ride.
  • Temporary Platforms: Boards that disappear when you walk on them. Place your feet lightly and be ready to get going again!
  • Empty Spaces: Bottomless pits where one mistake means you’re done with the game.

When you pass stages successfully you can gather coins and spend them to unlock new characters in the shop.

Tips For Playing Running the Tubes Effectively

Always Look Ahead Instead Of Just At Your Feet

Don't just focus on the tiles directly in front of you. Looking ahead helps you prepare to switch to the wall or ceiling when necessary.

Don't Change Direction Constantly

Changing positions too often can easily disorient you. Only switch to another side when there's truly no path ahead.

Be Careful With Fragile Surfaces

As soon as you land, keep running. Don't hesitate if you don't want to fall with the collapsed section of floor.

Remember The Running Rhythm

After a few plays, you'll gradually get used to the rhythm of the gaps appearing and your reflexes will improve significantly.

Conclusion

Running the Tubes is an exhilarating obstacle course running experience. It has fast-paced action, ever-changing maps, and multi-faceted tube movement mechanisms. If you are looking to test your reflexes and go through harder and harder parts this is a game definitely worth trying.
