The Life Run is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Arcade games are designed around the loop, and The Life Run has a good one — short attempts, instant restarts and a score that begs to be beaten. A few things the tags reveal: it uses hardware-accelerated graphics in the browser; it is a runner — your character moves forward automatically and you steer, jump or dodge.

Tips and tricks
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- 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 Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
- Because this is a Webgl game, enable hardware acceleration in your browser settings if it stutters.
