What makes a good endless runner game

Three things to keep in mind, whichever idea you pick.

One surprise move

Everyone can jump. A slide, a wall-run or a grind makes your runner different.

Fair speed

Speed up slowly, and never put an obstacle where it can't be seen in time.

Something to chase

Coins, a combo meter or a best score gives every run a reason.
