Synopsis

Metro-Cross is an abstract horizontal scrolling single-player racing game set in an automated futuristic city. Players play the role of “The Runner”, who must go through each of the 32 stages of the game to cross the finish line before the deadline expires. If the runner completes a round within the allotted time, the remaining time is converted into bonus points and the next round begins.

Obstacles that hinder the runner's progress include "slip zones" that slow him down if he tries to cross them, "traps" that break under the runner's weight and make him fall into the holes, and "crackets" that throw the runner into the air and land him on his back. Subsequent rounds also feature "giant tires" that bounce towards the runner, barriers that emerge from the ground before folding into it, cubes that move through particular columns of tiles, mice that try to jump on the runner and slow him down and Chess Knights and kings that bounce from one tile to another. The hooked mice fall off the runner if he jumps off a springboard.
