Build and Run is a fast-paced arcade platformer developed by Cubehole and released in June 2024. It combines automatic running, rapid construction, and combat in courses filled with broken paths, traps, barriers, and enemies. Every challenge gives you only a few moments to build a safe route or remove the danger ahead.
RUN, BUILD, AND FIGHT
Your character continuously moves forward while unfinished sections of the course appear ahead. You must quickly choose the appropriate structure and place it before reaching the gap.
Horizontal platforms provide bridges across open spaces, while ramps and slopes help you navigate changes in elevation. Selecting the correct piece is important, but timing matters just as much. Building too late or choosing the wrong structure can end the run immediately.
Construction cannot solve every problem. Enemies, laser barriers, locked gates, and other obstacles sometimes require weapons. Knives, guns, and TNT help you defeat opponents or destroy anything blocking your path.
Two Ways to Play
Build and Run offers two game modes:
- Level Mode: Complete structured stages containing planned combinations of terrain, traps, and enemies.
- Endless Mode: Travel as far as possible through an ongoing course and pursue a higher score.
Level Mode introduces the mechanics through specific challenges, while Endless Mode tests your consistency and reaction speed.
Rewards and Customization
Coins collected during each run can be spent in the in-game shop. Unlockable hats and shoes allow you to customize your character and add a personal touch to future attempts.
These rewards provide an additional goal beyond completing levels or surviving longer. Careful players can collect more coins without losing focus on the approaching course.
