Metro Sprint: 3D endless runner game online free
Metro Sprint is a free online 3D endless runner in the Subway Surfers style. Sprint along a sunset rail yard as a ninja courier: switch lanes to dodge trains, jump low barriers, roll under high gates and run up ramps onto the train roofs. Grab coins and power-ups, go faster and faster, and chase a place on the leaderboard in the Endless run or the Daily run. Realistic 3D graphics with sunlight, shadows and shiny trains, right in your browser on a computer, tablet or phone.

Obstacles and power-ups

|---|---|
| 🚧 Low barrier | Red and white sawhorse. Jump over it. |
| ⛩️ High gate | Tall yellow gate with a blue sign. Roll under it. |
| 🚃 Parked train | Blocks the whole lane. Change lanes, or climb a ramp to run on the roof. |
| 🛝 Ramp | Run straight up it to reach the roof of the train behind it. Collect the coins on top. |
| 🚆 Oncoming train | Its headlights are on and you hear a horn. It moves towards you, so leave its lane early. |
| ↔️ Side bump | Moving into the side of a train bumps you back. Two bumps within 5 seconds and you trip. |
| 🧲 Magnet | Pulls in the coins around you for 10 seconds. |
| ✖️2 Double coins | Every coin counts twice for 12 seconds. |

Runs and leaderboards
In the Endless run the track is new every time. The Daily run is the same track for everybody all day long. The runner starts at about 13 metres per second and speeds up to 28 metres per second, and the track gets busier as you go: more trains, more barriers and oncoming trains.
Your score is 1 point per metre plus 10 points per coin. Both runs go on the Metro Sprint leaderboard, which has This month and All time panels with one row per player. You only pick a nickname, there is no sign-up, and you can change the name, hide your scores or delete them at any time.

Metro Sprint tips
- Look far ahead. Trains are easy to dodge early and impossible to dodge late, so pick your lane before you reach them.
- Use the roofs. A ramp takes you above everything, and the roofs are full of coins. Stay up there while you can.
- Headlights mean danger. A train with its lights on is coming at you. Leave its lane as soon as you see it.
- Do not change lanes into a train. If a train is beside you, wait until it ends; two side bumps in a row trip you up.
- Drop fast. Swipe down in the air to land right away and roll, handy when a high gate follows a jump.
- Save the shield. Once you have it, take the coin lines you would normally skip: the shield forgives one mistake.
Frequently asked questions
Is Metro Sprint free to play?
Yes. Metro Sprint on Util.Ninja is completely free to play online, with no sign-up, no download and no in-app purchases. It runs in your browser on computers, tablets and phones, and your best scores, statistics and badges are saved on your own device.
Is Metro Sprint like Subway Surfers?
Metro Sprint is an endless runner in the same style: you run along three lanes of railway track, dodge trains and barriers and collect coins. It is an independent game made for this site, with its own runner, artwork, sounds, power-ups and rules, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to SYBO or Kiloo. Subway Surfers is a trademark of its owner.
How do you play Metro Sprint?
Your runner speeds along the tracks by itself. Swipe left or right (or press the arrow keys, A or D) to change lanes, swipe up (Up arrow, W or Space) to jump and swipe down (Down arrow or S) to roll. Avoid trains, jump the low barriers and roll under the high gates. The run ends when you crash.
What are the obstacles?
Low red and white barriers must be jumped. Tall yellow gates with a blue sign must be rolled under. Parked trains block a whole lane, so move out of the way, or use a ramp to run up onto the roof. Trains with their headlights on are coming towards you and are faster than they look, so leave their lane early.
What do the power-ups do?
The magnet pulls nearby coins to you for 10 seconds. Double coins makes every coin count twice for 12 seconds. Spring boots make you jump so high for 10 seconds that you can land on train roofs. The shield protects you from one crash for up to 18 seconds. The bar under each icon shows how long it lasts.
How is the score calculated?
You get 1 point for every metre you run and 10 points for every coin. While double coins is active each coin counts as two coins. The game gets faster the further you run, from about 13 metres per second at the start to 28 metres per second.
What is the daily run?
The daily run is a track that is the same for everybody on the same day, so scores are directly comparable. You can play it as often as you like; your best score of the day is kept. A new track comes at midnight.
Does Metro Sprint have a leaderboard?
Yes. Endless and daily runs go on one Metro Sprint leaderboard with This month and All time panels. You only choose a nickname, with no sign-up, and you can change the name, hide your scores or delete them at any time.
Does Metro Sprint have checkpoints?
Yes. A checkpoint is saved every 500 metres. If you crash after the first one, you can continue from the latest checkpoint: your distance and coins go back to that point, you get a 3 second shield and the way ahead is cleared. You have 2 continues in an endless run and 1 in the daily run. Because the score goes back too, leaderboard scores stay fair.
Does Metro Sprint have different worlds?
Yes. Besides the sunset city you can run through a green park, a palm-lined seaside city, a desert line and an underground station. In the default Mix setting the scenery changes every 1000 metres, or lock one world with the World button in the top toolbar (it shows the current world), in the settings or when you start a run. The worlds only change the look: scores and leaderboards are the same.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Metro Sprint works on phones and tablets in portrait and landscape. Swipe to move, or switch on the on-screen buttons in the settings; held sideways, the buttons sit in the side rails next to the track. If the game stutters, set Graphics to Medium or Low.
Why does the game need WebGL?
Metro Sprint draws a real 3D scene with lighting, shadows and reflections, which needs WebGL. Every modern browser has it. If you see a message that WebGL is off, try another browser or turn on hardware acceleration in your browser settings.
