About Tall Man Run
Tall Man Run is a bright, silly endless runner with a stretchy twist. Your character sprints down a course lined with gates, and running through green gates makes you taller while red ones shrink you back down. The goal is to stay tall enough to clear the obstacles and storm to the finish.
It is a game of quick lane choices. Gates flash past in pairs, and you steer toward the green ones while dodging red gates, barriers and gaps that punish a short runner. Get tall enough and you smash through walls a shorter character could never pass.

How to play Tall Man Run
Steer your runner left and right down the course. Run through green gates to grow taller and avoid the red ones that shrink you. Being tall lets you clear walls and obstacles a short runner cannot, so the goal is to stay tall, dodge the hazards, and reach the finish for a high score.

Tips & strategy
- Always aim for the green gate when given a choice, since height clears the obstacles ahead.
- Read the gates early and start steering before you reach them.
- Watch for obstacles that need a minimum height, and bank green gates before them.
- Dodge red gates even if it means a slightly awkward line.
- Stay centred when gates are spread so you can cut to the green one either side.
