Dodge traps in tight corridors while debating whether that last diamond’s worth the risk—just when you think you’ve got the maze figured out, it shifts on you. The chiptune music somehow turns gem collecting into a high-stakes heist.

Game Overview

Diamond Run is one of those arcade games that looks simple at first—just grab diamonds, avoid obstacles, right? But after a few runs, you realize how sneaky the level design gets. The maze tightens up, traps appear out of nowhere, and suddenly you're sweating over whether to go for that extra gem or play it safe.

What I like is how it nails that old-school arcade feel without being clunky. The controls are sharp, and the pacing keeps you leaning forward in your seat. You’ll start memorizing patterns, then the game throws a curveball—maybe a new enemy type or a diamond tucked behind a fake wall. It’s got that "just one more try" pull.

Also, the chiptune soundtrack is weirdly intense for a game about sparkly rocks. I’m not complaining.
