About Gold Runner
Collect every heap of gold in a guarded treasury, then climb the exit ladder. Dig temporary holes to trap goblin thieves and use ladders and ropes to get past them.
How to play
- Goal
- Take every heap of gold in the vault, then climb the golden ladder to the top.
- How it ends
- You clear the vault when you reach the top row with all the gold; the run is lost if a goblin catches you, a hole knits shut around you, or the vault's time runs out.
- Record
- For every vault, the ten best scores and the ten fastest clears, each proved by replaying the run.
- Move with the arrow keys, WASD, the pad or a held drag: climb ladders, hang from ropes, fall off edges.
- Dig down-left with Z and down-right with X (or the Dig buttons): a goblin that runs into the hole is trapped — walk over its head.
- Take every heap of gold, then climb the golden ladder to the top row before the time runs out.
