Ostrich Runner

Ostrich Runner is an animated arcade racing game about ostriches chasing a thief who has kidnapped their eggs. You race through winding paths, collecting as many eggs as possible and trying to reach the Professor’s lair for a final fight. The ostriches face enemies and obstacles, and each aims to be first and become the hero who saves their planet.

The story

The ostriches live peacefully with their animal and bird neighbors, raising families on their small planet. A cruel Professor plans to enslave the planet by raising an army of warriors from stolen eggs.

The parents form a War Council and send the strongest, fastest and most dexterous ostriches after the thief.
