Runaway Courier — a 3D rooftop runner inside Snapchat
Endless runners are fun for a minute, then they all feel the same. Runaway Courier gives every run a purpose: deliver the parcel before a cop and his bulldog catch you.
What I built
• A 3D rooftop runner across 7 worlds and 21 levels: old town, glass towers, desert kasbahs, forest bridges, snowy peaks, harbour docks and floating sky islands
• Swipe controls built for thumbs: change lanes, jump, slide, with every gesture buffered so nothing feels missed
• A live chase: each mistake brings the cop and his bulldog closer; run out of energy and you are busted
• An economy that keeps players coming back: deliveries, tips and clean-run bonuses fill season earnings and unlock new levels
• English and French, progress saved with Snap storage, the whole game in a 2.7 MB package
Result
• Published on Snapchat as a public game Lens (October 2026), approved by Snap in under an hour
• Submitted to the Snap × Lenslist Web Lens Game Challenge
• Game rules, collisions and missions covered by automated tests
My role: Game design, gameplay and 3D programming, level design, UI/UX, launch film
Stack: three.js, TypeScript, Vite, Vitest, Snapchat Web Lens API
