red Runner is one of the shooting games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. The appeal of red Runner is simple and old: line up the shot, take it, and watch the result. What makes it stick is the escalation that follows. A few things the tags reveal: there is a journey with a beginning and an end rather than an endless score chase.

Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Because this is a Running game, look at the middle distance rather than right in front of you.
