Play Lode Runner on GBA Online

Lode Runner on the Game Boy Advance came out in 2000, published by Nintendo. It was a solid puzzle-action title for the early GBA library, a time when portable games were starting to feel more like their console counterparts. This version was a faithful adaptation of the classic, fitting right in with the system's growing collection of thoughtful, engaging games.

You control a small character who must collect all the gold on each screen while avoiding enemy guards. Your main tool is a laser that can blast temporary holes in the floor, either to drop enemies into traps or to create paths to otherwise unreachable gold. The pacing is tense; you're constantly planning your next move while watching guard patrols, and one wrong dig can leave you cornered. It feels sharp and demanding, a game where every second and every action counts.
