Sprint League

Overview

Sprint League starts with training. You run on treadmills and collect points, and those points let you move on to faster machines. The idea is that each step up asks a little more of your reflexes.

Once you are ready, you can race elite runners for coins. Coins unlock shoes, skins and upgrades, so a run is not only about finishing: it also feeds what you can wear and improve next.

Besides the main training and racing, Poki lists two other modes. One is a red light / green light mode, based on the familiar playground game, and the other is a tag mode called Tung Tung Tag.

You move with WASD or the arrow keys on a computer, or with a joystick on a phone or tablet. There are no other controls to learn, so the first session is mostly about getting used to the pace.

Made for

Players who like to train, unlock and upgrade over many short runs.

Where it falls short

• Progress depends on repeated runs, which can feel slow if you want instant variety.
• Several unlockables (shoes, skins, upgrades) are cosmetic or gradual, so expect to play a while.
• Poki may show ads around the game, which this site does not control.

Advice

• Use whichever of WASD or the arrow keys feels steadier, and stay with it.
• Spend early sessions on the treadmills; the points are what unlock faster machines.
• Try the red light / green light mode when you want a change of pace from straight racing.
• Save your first coins for a purchase you will notice, such as new shoes, rather than spreading them thin.
• On a phone, keep your thumb centred on the joystick so small corrections stay easy.
