About Tag Runner

The name says tag, but you are really weathering an arena assault — enemies sprint at you from all four edges and you cut them down with a melee swing and a recharging area blast. Every wave brings more and tougher chasers, so keep darting around and clear them before your health gives out.

How to Play Tag Runner

Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Press Space to melee enemies within 50px for 20 damage and a short knockback, and press E for a blast that hits everyone within 120px for 40 damage (120-frame cooldown). Each wave spawns 3 + wave x 2 chasers with 30 + wave x 10 health. Each kill scores +15 and clearing a wave gives +20 x wave plus 20 HP. Green health drops add +30 HP. The run ends when your health reaches zero.

Controls

WASD or arrow keys to move, Space for a melee attack, E for the special blast. On mobile, virtual joystick and action buttons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an 'it' role or a timer?

No — there is no tag mechanic, no 'it' role, and no timer. Win or lose is based on health (zero HP ends the run), and your only score is +15 per enemy and +20 x wave per wave cleared.

What power-ups are there?

Only two: green health (+30 HP) and a speed pickup that just plays a sound — there is no actual speed change, and no freeze or invisibility power-ups.
