Run 3 or "how I became addicted to free games"

Imagine this: you're a tiny alien with legs that wouldn’t look out of place on a cheap action figure, hurtling through space in a never-ending tunnel. The walls aren’t just walls; they’re also floors. And the floors? Well, they sometimes decide they’ve had enough of your nonsense and disappear entirely. Welcome to Run 3, a flash game so ridiculously addictive it could make a speedrunner forget about their pizza rolls.

Now, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t your typical run-and-jump nonsense. Oh no, this game is the gaming equivalent of a Dark Souls boss fight dressed up as an innocent platformer. It’s infuriating, yet you can’t stop. Why? Because Run 3 doesn’t just want you to win—it wants you to survive. And barely at that.

Run 3 is a flash game from the legendary era of online gaming, developed by Joseph Cloutier. Think of it as Temple Run, but in space, with gravity that seems to have been designed by someone who just lost a Mario Kart match. You guide a small alien through a floating, ever-expanding tunnel, dodging holes, avoiding falling into the void, and occasionally questioning why you ever started playing this game in the first place.

The beauty of Run 3 is how it combines simplicity and utter madness. It’s like the Minecraft of flash games. You think you’ve mastered it, but then the floor crumbles under you like an old PC trying to run Cyberpunk 2077. And the walls? Oh, the walls! They’re not there to save you—they’re there to mock you. They’re like those optional side quests in RPGs that turn out to be 10 times harder than the main story.
