About Metro-Cross (set 1)
The Runner navigates an automated futuristic city across 32 stages, racing to reach the finish line before the timer expires. Players must avoid Slip Zones that reduce movement speed to maintain momentum. Completing rounds within the time limit converts any remaining seconds into bonus points, fueling progress through the horizontally-scrolling levels.
