Tallman Run — Grow Bigger and Take Down the Giant

Tallman Run is a chill arcade runner where you start small and grow by running through gates that multiply your size. Some gates boost you up, while others shrink you down. The goal? Dodge the shrinking gates and get big enough to smash obstacles and the giant waiting at the finish line. It’s simple but keeps you hooked.

How to Play

On desktop, hold the left mouse button to run and drag your mouse left or right to switch lanes. On mobile, just swipe left or right with your finger. Your job is to pick gates with positive numbers to grow and avoid the ones with negative numbers that shrink you. Timing and lane choice make all the difference.

What Makes It Fun

There’s something really satisfying about seeing your character get bigger with every gate you pass. The game is simple to pick up but still makes you think about which lane to choose, especially when those shrinking gates show up. With its bright colors and smooth controls, it’s a fun little game you can jump into whenever you want.

Tips That Actually Work

Go for gates with the biggest positive numbers — they grow you faster.
If you see a cluster of shrinking gates, switch lanes early instead of waiting.
Try to balance growing tall and wide for more power at the end.
Hang out near the center lane as you near the finish — it gives you room to dodge.
Play a few rounds to get familiar with where gates usually show up; it makes planning easier.
