Coffee Run

A metro-station runner for training questions. Dodge trains and barriers, run along the train roofs, and grab coffee. To answer a question, run through the right door. Six right answers and you make the meeting.

Play Coffee Run

Then tell me what felt off.

  • Did the controls feel right?
  • Did the questions interrupt the run, or fit into it?
  • What was the exact moment it felt off?
Would you play it again?

Both are needed to send a note, so I can write back. I'll also keep you on the list to try new games as I build them. Nothing else, and you can leave the list any time.

Got it. Thank you. I read every one of these, and I'll write back when Coffee Run changes because of your note. You're on the list for the next unfinished game, too.
