Running Late

Running Late is a platformer about Ayumi, a Japanese high-schooler cursed by a Kitsune after repeatedly arriving late to school. To break the curse and keep the yokai from stealing her soul, she must reach school on time every day, racing through a town whose layout is shuffled each morning.

Ayumi’s powers

The thunder god Raitaro blesses Ayumi with powers that let her climb walls, withstand hard impacts and fall from great heights unharmed. You use them to find a route to school and reach it as quickly as possible.

Race through the town

The game has an infinite collection of levels. You climb buildings, collect power-ups and look for ways to move faster while dodging traffic, animals and other obstacles that can knock you back on impact. Each run is a chance to aim for a record clear time.

Visuals and music

The visuals are hand-drawn in an anime style, with original music accompanying the illustrations.
