Mothership Run

Mothership Run is a tunnel-escape action game set inside Admiral Xarkon's collapsing mothership. You've been recaptured — again — and the only way out is down a rapidly narrowing hexagonal corridor. Rotate the tunnel walls to keep the opening aligned with your escape pod and don't let the walls close in on you.

How to Play

The hexagonal tunnel rotates as you descend. Steer left and right to rotate the tunnel so the gap stays aligned with your pod. The tunnel speeds up over time and the gap gets tighter. Survive as long as you can and set a new distance record.

• Keyboard: ◀ / A rotate left, ▶ / D rotate right.
• Touch: tap the left or right button on screen to rotate.
• The gap moves — watch where the open section is heading and steer proactively, not reactively.
• Tap or press any key to start the next run after a crash.

Tips & Strategy

• Read the rotation speed. The tunnel doesn't always spin at the same rate — feel the rhythm before committing to a hard correction.
• Small corrections beat big ones. Overcorrecting sends the gap past you in the other direction. Tap short and adjust.
• Stay loose. Tunnel run is a reflex game — tensing up and white-knuckling the controls makes reaction time slower, not faster.
• Watch the edges, not the centre. The walls give you the most information about where the gap is — track the hexagon edges rather than staring at the middle.
