Nearly 9 in 10 players have slid their way to 2-10 hours in, then straight back for more. The physics-based sliding fuels the fun, pulling in crowds with its oddly compelling grip-and-slip mechanics. Backed by a Very Positive rating from 90% of reviewers, it’s a sticky little package that refuses to let go.

What it's about: GEL RUN is a colorful obstacle-course adventure where being flexible is your greatest power.
