About

Run, Elric! is a 2D pixel-art platformer set in a mysterious forest filled with danger. You play as Elric, a quick-witted courier whose wagon was ambushed, scattering his coins. Unarmed, he must dash, jump, and outsmart monsters while avoiding traps and reclaiming his treasure. From eerie clearings to caverns with slimes, skeletons, and zombies, each step is a challenge. With tight controls and retro spirit, can Elric survive and recover his fortune?
