Sonic Runners is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. You will understand Sonic Runners in about ten seconds and still be improving at it a week later. That is the arcade formula done right. Its tags tell you what to expect: there is a journey with a beginning and an end rather than an endless score chase; it is a runner — your character moves forward automatically and you steer, jump or dodge.

Tips and tricks
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Because this is a Running game, look at the middle distance rather than right in front of you.
- Because this is a Girls game, take your time with creative choices; there is rarely a wrong answer in this kind of game.
