    Zombie Glider is a decent "endless running" game; only you have an upgradeable glider on a quest for brains. The art style is deliciously amateur and the mechanics are really sound with a lot of attention to detail (you can fly horizontally over castles or vertically towards space complete with asteroid fields).

    I have a question here for endless running game that what extent of difficulty progression do you like? do you prefer tense rhythm or slow one?

    On May, I have played some running games such as ePig Dash and Tiny Wings. Especially the Tiny Wings, it gives me a feeling of flying each time I play it. I don't know whether Mega Jump is one of the running games. I find them kinda fun when a time of relax is needed.

    Hey Arthur!

    What ever happened to that game? I used to play it all the time when you were still updating it, but it seemed like you just quit all of a sudden...?

    It was a really great game. Still waiting for my daytime only mode... ;)

    Not a big fan of the pacing of Run Like Hell! so I personally disagree with those pushing for its inclusion. Gravity Guy is fun but there's too much trial-and-error for me.

    In no particular order; going to break these into 2D and 3D categories:

    Dead Runner
    Boost 3D/2
    3D SFCave
    Zombie Highway

    Lane Splitter

    Canabalt
    Monster Dash
    Hook Worlds
    Grim Joggers
    Run! (most depth I've seen in an "endless runner"-type game)
    Rogue Runner

    As for endless runner-ESQUE games, I say:

    Rat On A Scooter
    Rat On A Skateboard
    SpikeDislike

    And for the hell of it, I'll throw in "endless ascent" games

    Sir Lovalot
    The Incident
    Mechanic Panic
    Gravity Hook
    NinJump

    Now someone do "endless descent" games! :D

    I'm going to try Lame Castle, Robot Unicorn, and Solipskier after reading this thread.

    Been over half a year since I posted. Might as well update my list, and actually post 10 this time.

    No particular order (top 5):

    Jetpack Joyride
    Bumpy Road
    Temple Run
    Zombie Highway
    Hook Worlds

    No particular order (top 6-10):

    Monster Dash
    Canabalt
    Pilot Winds
    Boost 2
    Tiny Wings

    I generally dislike casual games, but I've always had fun with endless runners. Own pretty much all of them. There's so many good ones, and many have done extremely well on the charts at one point in time, including all of the ones in my top 10.

    I'm not a fan of endless runners at all, but from the few I've tried, my top ones in order are:
    1. Jetpack Joyride: I play for the missions, not the distance...
    2. Solipskier: Much deeper than I initially thought, and thanks to the bullet hell group's current competition, I'm still learning more from this game.
