How to play

  1. Move with the arrow keys or A and D. Jump with Space, W or the up arrow; press jump again in mid-air to double-jump. On a phone, use the on-screen buttons.
  2. Collect data tokens, avoid spikes, lasers and corruption pools, and stomp on bots by landing on top of them.
  3. Touch a checkpoint flag to respawn there if you fall. Power-ups give a shield, a higher jump or a token magnet for a few seconds.
  4. Reach the gate to restore each level. Clear a level to unlock the next; earn up to three stars for finishing, collecting 80% of tokens, and a clean run under the par time.
  5. Speedrun mode removes checkpoints and records a separate personal best for every level. Press P to pause, R to restart and M to mute.

About the game

A rogue virus has corrupted the network. You play as Byte, a small maintenance robot, working through three worlds: the beginner-friendly Digital City, the Neural Network with moving platforms and laser gates, and The Corrupted Core, where turrets, crumbling blocks and a final boss wait.

Every level is hand-built. Some walls hide secret data caches. The game runs entirely in your browser; your unlocked levels, stars and best times are saved on this device only.

AI Runner is an AI-themed game, not an AI system: enemies follow hand-written movement rules, and no AI model runs while you play.
