Endless runner games are typically side-scrolling or forward-scrolling games where the player character moves continuously through a procedurally generated environment. The player's job is to react quickly by jumping, sliding, or swerving to avoid obstacles and stay alive.

Common characteristics include:

• No fixed end — the game continues until the player fails.

• Progressive difficulty — the game becomes faster and more complex over time.

• Simple controls — often one-touch or swipe-based.

• High score systems — encourage replayability and competition.

• Collectibles and upgrades — coins, boosts, and power-ups to enhance gameplay.

Popular games in the genre include Temple Run, Subway Surfers, and Jetpack Joyride.
