Legend Run

Legend Run

Mobile Endless Runner Prototype

Legend Run is a fast-paced endless runner designed primarily for mobile platforms, focusing on responsive controls, short-session play, and score-driven progression.

Players navigate a continuous obstacle course, optimising movement and timing to maximise distance while collecting currency used to improve future runs. The game is built around repeatable, high-skill sessions rather than narrative progression.

Core Design & Systems

• Endless runner gameplay loop
  Distance-based scoring encourages mastery, optimisation, and repeated play.

• Touch-first control design
  Simple, screen-based input supports rapid reactions and one-handed mobile play.

• Progression through currency and upgrades
  Coins collected during runs feed back into player upgrades, reinforcing long-term engagement.

• Procedural obstacle sequencing
  Hazards and challenges are arranged dynamically to prevent predictable runs.

Development Context

• Public itch.io page retained for portfolio reference only

• Playable builds are private and shared selectively during job applications
