The Runner - 3D Platformer: 100% Pen Rendering on a Cube

The Runner represents a technical milestone in Scratch 3D engineering: a 100% pen-based 3D platformer where traversal occurs on the surface of a rotating cube across 10 distinct levels.

Critical Compatibility Notice

Scratch 3.0 has deprecated rendering support for this project. To play, use the authorized Phosphorus emulator: https://phosphorus.github.io/#164582724. This link also resolves all reported lag issues.

Controls & Technical Credits

Controls utilize standard WASD or arrow key mapping for locomotion. Text-based narrative sequences advance via any keypress or mouse click. Two toggle functions exist: 'L' enables/disables the high-fidelity background render layer; 'R' performs a hard restart should visual glitches occur.

The camera system, credited to @AlphaAxle, enables the illusion of spherical navigation. Supporting frameworks include @-Rex-'s text engine and @TheLogFather/jamohyperturbopro's triangle rasterizer.

Audio & Legacy

Audio features Two Steps From Hell's "Freedom Fighters" alongside its official remix. This is explicitly cited by the developer as their most technically complex published project.

For fans of experimental 3D platformers, this represents a preserved piece of pen-rendering history.
