Quick answer

What is 10,000 Galaxy Runner?

10,000 Galaxy Runner is a 3D army runner set in space. Your blue legion advances on its own while you steer left and right through holographic warp gates. Each gate adds a different kind of unit, and each alien army is weak to certain types, so your choices decide the fights. Battles run in real time, relay stations block the way mid-level, and a mothership waits at the end. Win to unlock the next level.

How a level plays out

Press Play. The legion starts with 40 space troopers and runs forward automatically.
Steer into one of the gates in each row. The gate you pass through adds its units to your army.
When an alien army appears, your units fight automatically. The legion slows to a crawl while fighting, then speeds up again.
Win the fights, then break the relay stations that stand between the zones.
Destroy the mothership at the end of the level to win and open the next level. If your whole legion is wiped out, press Try Again.

Controls

Drag left and right (mouse or touch): Steer the legion across the battlefield
Left and right arrow keys, or A and D: Steer with the keyboard
Space or Enter on the menu: Start a run
Gear button: Open settings

Units and counters

Eight unit types you can collect from gates: space troopers, laser walkers, dropships, warp ninjas, gravity cannons, starfighters, swarm carriers and titan mechs.
Each type has special strengths and weaknesses; the gates show which units they beat, and alien armies stand in clusters by type.
Special abilities include piercing laser beams, ninjas that teleport behind enemy lines, gravity cannons that pull enemies in before blasting and carriers that launch swarm drones.
New unit types start appearing in gates as levels progress and are announced when they appear.
Your best level is saved on your device and used for the leaderboard.

Strategy tips

Read the gate before you pick it. The small icons list the units it beats, so match it to the next alien army you can see.
Steer into the part of an alien army you counter. Armies stand in type clusters, so your position decides who fights whom.
Do not choose the biggest number automatically. A smaller group of the right type can beat a larger group of the wrong one.
Prepare before relay stations and the mothership, because those fights are tougher. Collect extra units in the reinforcement zones.
If a level ends in defeat, note what beat you and choose different gates on the next attempt.
