Marathon:Glory Run(V1.0)

About the Game

⚠️ Please read the following before purchasing

Marathon:Glory Run is a side-scrolling runner set in 490 BC, recreating Pheidippides' legendary 42-kilometer run from the Marathon plain to Athens with the news of victory. Please read the following before purchasing:

【Product Scope】 This is a relatively simple side-scrolling endless runner. While wrapped in historical storytelling, the core mechanics — jump, dodge, collect — are similar to mainstream runners like Temple Run or Subway Surfers. If you're seeking deep complexity or innovative mechanics, this may not meet your expectations.

【Content Volume】 Current version includes 6 terrain stages, 8 milestone events, 4 item types, and 5 obstacle types. As an indie developer title, total content is limited. After reaching Athens, subsequent playthroughs offer essentially the same content with no multi-run inheritance or deep roguelike mechanics.

【Replayability】 Runners inherently involve repetition. This title offers mid-game variety through combo systems and dual-resource management (Stamina/Will), but randomly generated obstacle/item combinations cannot guarantee a significantly different experience each run. Players expecting "blind-box surprise" every time may be disappointed.

【Narrative vs Gameplay】 Historical narration at milestones (background on the Greco-Persian Wars) is presented as plain text and does not deeply interact with gameplay mechanics. For players seeking an immersive narrative experience, the story elements function more like skippable说明书 than a story-driven design integrated into gameplay.

【Technical Limitations】 • Landscape mode only — vertical orientation on mobile or tablet will not work properly • No cloud save — progress will not transfer between devices • No achievements, leaderboards, or multiplayer features

【Update Expectations】 As an individual/small team project, update frequency and future content expansion are uncertain. No fixed update schedule or major content expansions can be promised.

【Difficulty Test】 This game has undergone internal testing by the development team and is quite difficult to pass. So far, no one has successfully completed it. If you prefer games that are easy to pass, this product is not for you.Of course, we also hope that skilled gamers will successfully complete the game and point out any problems in our product so that we can improve it.

【Good fit for:】 ✅ Players deeply interested in marathon or ancient Greek history ✅ Players who enjoy simple, direct runner controls ✅ Players willing to pay a low price for a complete single-journey experience

【Not a good fit for:】 ❌ Players seeking deep systemic complexity or innovative mechanics ❌ Players wanting rich social features (leaderboards/multiplayer/achievements) ❌ Hardcore players with high expectations for replayability
