Vulcan Runner
Vulcan Runner is an ancient Greek themed infinite runner game developed by Vulcan Forged. The game is currently play to earn and can be downloaded within the Vulcan Forged DAPP Launcher, or directly from mobile app stores.
Vulcan Runner Gameplay
The objective of the game is to collect as many coins as possible before dying. Coins are available in coin form themselves, within coin crates and also within artifacts and objects within the game. However, there are numerous obstacles and challenges you with encounter as you progress and navigate your way through the levelling system and distinct Vulcan Runner quadrants that reflect the quadrants within VulcanVerse: Notus, Arcadia, Boreas and Hades. In order to stay alive, you must not make direct constant with obstacles, fall off the map or each a dead end due to poor navigation and gameplay. Doing any of the aforementioned will result in instant death. Any minor contact against obstacles will result in a reduction in your HP bar until it is completely depleted.
When starting a game, the player will enter via a random spawn and can be placed within various zones within a specific quadrant. As players progress into their run, the speed at which they move will increase from a starting position of 500, all the way up to 1000. At this point, the run speed maximum is reached. If a player uses the slide function, they then will temporary increase their speed to 1500 before dropping back down to 1000.
Play to Earn
When players collect coins, they will reach XP thresholds within the game. For every 100 coins collected in a single run, the player earns 1XP. This XP then determines the amount of LAVA that player has earned and is allocated to their MyForge account on an hourly basis. Players can currently earn up to 7 LAVA a day from playing Vulcan Runner.
Game of the Week
Vulcan Runner is eligible for Game of the Week. This provides 10 players with the chance to win 500 LAVA if they meet the required threshold for that week. For Vulcan Runner, this is determined by the number of coins a player is required to obtain in a single run. All eligible players are then entered into a randomised selector with the 10 winners being announced on social media platforms.
Vulcan Runner Leaderboard
You can track your performance in game as the The Vulcan Runner leaderboard consists of users with Daily, Weekly, Monthly and All-Time scores. Vulcan Runner is constantly under development, with regular updates and challenges for players. Therefore, these leader boards may also update to be competition specific. Your score is measured by the number of coins your collect on a single run. The example below shows 322 coins collected, meaning this would be your leaderboard score if it is your highest over the duration periods noted.
