How to play
- Goal
- Reach the moon gate at the end of the ruin.
- How it ends
- The run ends when you reach the gate or strike thorns, falling masonry or the abyss.
- Record
- Each course keeps your most moonshards and fewest gravity flips on separate record tables.
- Reach the glowing moon gate. The courier runs forward automatically; tap Flip gravity, tap the scene, or press Space to fall toward the opposite surface. The picture follows a runner from floor to ceiling before a thorn wall.
- Flip early enough to rise clear of pink thorns and moving stone blocks. Broken floor or ceiling can carry you into the abyss. A flip resets your vertical speed and needs a brief recharge, so holding the control does not repeat it.
- Gold moonshards are optional. More shards and fewer gravity flips have separate record tables. Pausing, leaving the tab or a long browser stall keeps that attempt local; your personal bests still save.
- Choose any of the forty courses, retry immediately, and practice reading both surfaces. The later regions are harder; earlier ones give more forgiving crossings.
Controls

About Moonfall Runner
A courier crosses Orenvalt’s ruined aqueducts beneath two moons. Run automatically, reverse gravity, and thread a path between pink thorns, falling masonry and broken floors. Real character animation and stone bridges bring depth to the side view.
Forty short courses span Silver Aqueduct, Rootbound Cloister, Crystal Belfry and Moonfall Citadel. Every region is open. Gold moonshards offer a harder route, while separate records reward collecting more or using fewer flips.
