Relic Runway
By Gemioli
Relic Runway is a free endless running game from Gemioli that you play straight in your browser. You steer a runner with the arrow keys and try to get as far as you can, scooping up coins along the way, gathering relic parts that piece together ancient artifacts, and breaking idols that unlock new characters. Coins go into upgrading bonuses, and your distance gives you something to measure against friends.

How to Play Relic Runway
Each attempt is a single run: you move your runner with the arrow keys and keep going as long as you can, with distance as the score you are chasing. Coins are scattered along the way, so the route you take matters — grabbing what you pass adds up to the currency you spend on bonus upgrades.
Two other collectables give runs a longer-term point. Relic parts are pieces of ancient artifacts, so picking them up gradually reveals complete relics. Idols can be broken, and doing so unlocks new playable characters. Between runs, your coins go toward upgrading bonuses.
Because distance is the headline number, the natural loop is run, spend, run again with a better setup — and then see whether your best distance beats your friends' attempts.
Tips
- Treat distance as the real score — coins and relics are things you pick up while chasing it, not a reason to abandon a run.
- Sweep up coins on the line you are already running rather than making awkward detours for a couple of extra pieces.
- Look out for relic parts specifically: they are what complete an ancient artifact, and coins alone will not do that.
- Break idols when you get the chance — that is how new characters become playable.
Features
- Endless running with distance as your score
