Run beyond gravity.
Aether Run
Run, jump and double jump across 50 3D courses of floating architecture high above the clouds.
About the Game
Aether Run is an original 3D parkour platformer with 50 courses in five chapters: the marble Dawn Terraces, the drifting Sky Gardens, the Storm Spires, the Sunset Citadel and the Aurora Crown. You play Aeris, a courier-runner with a thruster pack, seen from a third-person camera: run, jump, hold for a higher jump and press again in mid-air to double jump. Each chapter adds something new — moving and rising platforms, spring pads that launch you high, crumbling slate that drops a moment after you land, glass bridges that fade in and out on a rhythm, storm updrafts that lift you to higher ledges, energy beams that switch on and off, low beams and spike strips to hop, and sweeping blades to jump or time. Touch checkpoints to save your place; you have five lives per course. Golden shards wait on optional side routes, and every course has a par time: reach the gate for one star, collect every shard for two, and beat par as well for three. Every course was played to the finish — and through every shard — by a verification bot using the game's own physics and forgiving timing, so every level is possible. Keyboard and mouse or touch controls, three graphics levels, and progress saved in your browser.
How to Play
Run with W A S D or the arrow keys (on a phone or tablet, touch and drag anywhere to steer); movement follows the camera, which swings behind you as you turn. Press Space or the Jump button to jump — hold it for a higher jump, tap it for a short hop — and press it again in mid-air to fire your thruster pack for a double jump. Jump just before an edge to carry your speed. Ride moving platforms by standing still on them, land on glowing pads to be launched high, cross cracked slate before it crumbles, and step onto glass only while it glows. Hover in an updraft to rise, hop low beams and spike strips, and time your run past full-height beams and sweeping blades. Touch a checkpoint obelisk to save your place: falling or getting hit costs one of five lives and puts you back at the last checkpoint. Reach the light gate to finish; collect every golden shard and beat the par time for three stars.

Gameplay Tips
- Jump just before the edge — you still have a split second after running off it.
- For tall ledges, take off early and double jump near the top of your first jump.
- Glass flickers before it fades: wait on solid ground for the next wave if you're late.
- Shards sit on optional side routes; skip them if you're chasing the par time.
- On a moving platform, stand still and let it carry you before you jump off.
FAQ
What is Aether Run?
Aether Run is a free 3D parkour platformer on ZOQSY: run, jump and double jump across 50 courses of floating architecture above the clouds.
How do I double jump?
Jump, then press jump again while you're in the air. The thruster pack gives you a second jump; it recharges when you land, bounce on a pad or ride an updraft.
How do stars work?
Reaching the light gate earns one star, collecting every golden shard earns two, and doing that within the par time earns three.
What happens when I fall?
You lose one of your five lives and restart from the last checkpoint you touched. Lose all five and the course ends — press Retry to try it again.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes — touch and drag anywhere to run and use the Jump button. If it runs slowly, pick Low graphics with the button next to Jump.
Are the levels possible?
Yes. Every course was completed — including every shard and within par — by a verification bot that uses the game's own physics with human-like timing.
Is Aether Run free?
Yes — free in your browser with no download or account. Progress is saved locally on your device.
