Do! Run Run is a 1984 platformer released for the Arcade Machine. The game challenges players to navigate maze-like levels by collecting all the scattered items while avoiding enemies that pursue the character relentlessly. The main objective is to clear each stage by gathering every dot, similar to a classic maze chase but with a platform twist.
The gameplay pace is moderately fast, requiring quick reflexes and strategic movement to evade foes. A unique mechanic in Do! Run Run involves the ability to temporarily stun enemies by triggering specific items on the map, allowing the player a brief window to collect more items safely. This mechanic adds a layer of timing and planning beyond simple running and dodging.
One distinctive feature of this title is its blend of platforming and maze navigation, combining vertical and horizontal movement in a way uncommon for its era. The game’s unusual idea of mixing chase elements with platform-style level design creates a continuously engaging challenge for players.
