About Muscle Run io

Building muscle can be very easy or very difficult depending on your body type, but you'll still need to work at it to get any lasting effects. This game paints a fantasy of gaining muscle quickly but also burning through it just as quickly. It's a short and humorous take on the idea of competitions that rely heavily on muscular physiques. However, the challenge is being able to build up enough muscle as fast as you can so that you can put it to use. It can be a bit tricky with how it measures muscle, but you'll get used to it fast.

How to Play

The goal is to win the muscle race by getting to the end of the course first. The amount of muscles you have is shown in a meter that appears to the left of your builder. As he gains more muscle, the meter will fill green. When he moves through his lane in the track, the meter will go down until he can't make any more progress.

Before you begin, you can enter your name and choose what your builder looks like. After that, you can start the contest and start moving after the countdown. You'll be assigned a color that represents your lane and the workout tools that you can pick up. As you do, you'll start to gain muscle and as long as you have muscle, you can move through the lane. Lanes can differ where more muscle can help you move obstacles or get through difficult terrain. When your muscle runs out, you'll need to return to the workout area to gain more. Get to the finish line at the end to win and earn your reward.

Tips and Tricks

The thing that determines victory versus defeat, it's how you collect your workout stuff. Colors will usually be evenly distributed, but try to stick near your lane if you can and hope for large groups to spawn together. Mind your opponents to determine going for full muscle versus little muscles for consistent progress.
