Run Horace Run

You control Horace directly, guiding him through a side-scrolling landscape. The moment-to-moment play involves tapping the up arrow to jump over obstacles like sleeping lions and using the down arrow to duck under hazards such as hanging monkeys. The main objective is to survive for the longest distance possible while the ranger, often visible in the background, gives chase. The pacing is quick, and the difficulty comes from the increasing speed and frequency of obstacles. It feels like a tense, rhythmic dash where a single mistimed button press ends your run.
