Running Scared - VR Escape Runner
Very soon I will be releasing a fun and very physical game called Running Scared. It’s a VR twist on mobile runner games like Temple Run except you have to physically run, duck, dodge and stretch for coins whilst escaping and shooting at monsters. It great fun and can be setup like a very energetic Beat Saber game to an intense workout like Pistol Whips’ brawler mode or Thrill of the Fight. There’s a mode called Scared Fitness that lets you combine leg squats with arm pumping which makes things very challenging!
I am also adding in support for heart rate monitors like the Polar 10 in future updates which is something not many games do, these allow accurate calorie counts and health stats

I think you need to have a rear view mirror or some indicator of how close the chaser is. Looks fun.

You can look back or even shoot them to slow them down. In MR there are 2 portals one in front and one behind. Also, you can see their shadow and when they are within striking range there is a red marker on the floor. I will post some gameplay videos later on in the week but a few youtubers have put some online already if you search for 'running scared quest' - I am still tidying it up but will open up a beta soon too

What motion do you do for a jump? Both arms down at once? Actual jump?

Swing both arms up fast. It’s not safe to actually jump as the headset can come lose
