MusicRunner

MusicRunner is a rhythm action game where you run through a world to music, avoiding obstacles and defeating slimes in time with the beat. It features over 35 songs, numerous characters and more than 100 charts, with difficulties ranging from beginner to expert. You can aim for high scores with your chosen songs and characters.

Run to the rhythm

Attack enemies at the right time to increase your score, jump over rocks and move left or right to collect coins and avoid trees. Keeping to the rhythm builds your score, and reaching the musical high point puts you into a “fever” state.

Each song has three difficulty levels: EASY, HARD and CRAZY. EASY can be played with only 5 keys, and the difficulty options cater to both beginners and advanced players.

Game modes

• Free Mode: Choose songs to play, repeat them to pursue a high score or create your own running course.
• Adventure Mode: Clear stages to recover “pieces of sound.” Complete each stage’s missions to earn rewards such as songs and characters.
• Custom Chart: Load and play your own charts.

Scoring

Your score depends on your play performance. Coins and CRITICAL judgments are worth 4 points each, ATTACK judgments are worth 3 points, and MISS judgments are worth 0. The score is calculated from your internal score as a percentage of its theoretical maximum, multiplied by 1,000,000, with the number of CRITICAL judgments added; combos do not add to the score.

The theoretical maximum is calculated from the total number of coins multiplied by 4, plus the total number of notes multiplied by 4. The internal CRITICAL judgment window is 25 ms; CRITICAL judgments have a 40 ms window, and ATTACK judgments a 120 ms window. Character types and levels that affect song-clear difficulty may be implemented, but not ones that affect scores.
