Fun Run Multiplayer Race Cheats, Tips, and Strategies

Fun Run is an online real-time multiplayer game for smart phones and tablets, both Android and iOS. It pits friends, foes, and strangers  against each other in side-scrolling races full of havoc and mayhem.  To avoid being ripped to shreds, I suggest you use the following tips, cheats, and strategies to reach the finish line first.

Use Power-Ups

Be on the lookout for boxes scattered throughout the environment. Inside is one of eight power-ups that’ll give you that all-important edge. The list includes bear traps to rip opponents, saw blades that chop them in two, a speed boost, a lightning strike that shocks enemies and a protective shield that makes you invincible for six seconds. Just run into a box to pick up one of these items, then press the left button to activate it. Do this quickly, as you’ll want to use as many power-ups as you can.

Tip: Saw blades ricochet off walls.

Avoid pits by climbing up walls

Repeatedly press the jump button if you fall into a pit and your character will jump up the wall.

Tip: Once you reach the finish line, you can quit the current race without receiving a penalty.

Watch out for random objects

Multiple items designed to impede your progress litter each course. Keep your eyes on the track at all times to avoid these traps.

Tip: The heart power-up lets players absorb one hit.

Practice makes perfect

Hone your skills against the artificial intelligence in Practice mode, where the computer is almost as ruthless as pesky humans.

Tip: Excessive jumping slows you down a bit.

Player positioning is key

During a race, the game displays all player positions along the bottom of the screen. Watching it is a great way to see how far in front or behind you are.

Memorize the tracks

The more you know about a track, the easier it’ll be for you to win. This goes hand-in-hand with learning to place bear traps where you think other players will land following a jump.
