Runaway Tail: Dog Runner

Run. The colors follow you.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Run. The colors follow you. The Gray Catcher is draining the world of its color. Only Sol, a greyhound, is faster than he is – and wherever she runs, the color comes back. Dodge across three lanes, leap over market stalls, slide under barriers and race across boat hulls and fallen giant trees. But watch out: one stumble, and he's right on your tail. ELEVEN WORLDS, 110 LEVELS From Ashen Town across the Sea of Dunes, the Will-o'-Wisp Moor and Starfall Peaks all the way to the Glimmer Grotto, Canal Town and the Aurora Fjord: 88 levels on the main path and 22 side paths, each with three stars. Every world brings obstacles of its own – geysers, drawbridges, marching geese, falling stalactites, glassy ice. And at the end, a boss with a final sprint is waiting: the catcher stays right behind you, and a single slip is enough. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW • A new Daily Track every day – the same for everyone • A Weekly Challenge every week, with a five-stage weekly goal • Endless mode with seamless world changes • Night runs and storm tiers for an extra challenge • Festivals through the year: Pumpkin Night in the fall and Winter Lights in December, with levels and rewards of their own • Game Center leaderboards: Endless, Daily Track, Weekly Challenge and stars • Ghost run: your best run races along as a shadow YOUR DOG, YOUR STYLE 28 dogs, 43 scarves and 15 trails to unlock – with a daily selection in the shop and legendary pieces.
