Crash game with runner-style gameplay — more interesting than the classic graph?

[viljy]

Runner is good for playing on a phone. It’s a classic way to kill time (right after all sorts of balls). But I practically don’t play gambling games on my phone. And I very rarely play crash‑like games like Aviator. So, probably not, it won’t interest me... By the way, there’s an implicit side effect: when playing crash runner on your phone, you risk smashing the phone onto the ground out of anger, because it’s easy to lose a lot of money in such a gambling game in one go (well, that’s a joke... although).

It actually makes sense beyond being a joke, though.
Back in the day when people were playing this game called "flappy bird" I personally witnessed how several of my friends destroyed their phones by smashing them against the ground, for losing a long match on Flappy bird. And it was no money involved back when that game was available for people to download.

I would not be surprised there were several instaces of people destroying their phones over losing money on casino games, specially a game like crash. In which just takes a single mistake to lose it all.

Well... in any case, it’s harder to throw a monitor or a laptop onto the ground. Losing in a gambling game can provoke an unstable person into making impulsive decisions. Especially games like Aviator or something similar. I would describe this gameplay as completely unpredictable.

When you start being cautious and pressing the button early, you see how the multiplier grows wildly and start counting the missed winnings. When you decide to take a risk, you instantly lose money. These crash games seem designed to unsettle a gambler.

What do you think about a crash game where the usual graph is replaced by an actual runner-style game?

Recently I tried EORunners, where the same basic crash mechanic is presented as a character run.

— Does the visual/gameplay format matter to you, or mostly RTP and math?

— What matters most to you in this type of game: fast rounds, high multipliers, or the gameplay itself?

For me graphics and gameplay matters a lot. If the game look like a graph, a flying dot, then I would not play it. Looks boring. Plane background. Looks like I am watchin a lame powerpoint presentation with a graph...



But if background has something on it, I see rocket, plane or anything flying, or a man running somewhere, then such game looks more attractive to me. If the game has sound effects, that is a double win. I dont pay attention to the rest. I dont care much about options game has. If there is an autocash cashout button, bet max, that is enough for me. I play crash manually, I dont need automode and smart strategies.

I like it when a game looks visually appealing, I pay attention to that, and I’m attracted to all kinds of special effects. But it also needs to be intuitive and easy to understand, because if it looks too futuristic and confusing, that kind of uncertainty can have the opposite effect and make me lose interest.

For me, at the end of the day, math, RTP, Provably Fair algorithm are last word. How any game looks, whether character is running or plane is flying, may seem interesting for first 5 to 10 minute. But real thrill of any crash game come from psychological pressure of Risk to Reward Ratio and Cash out timing. If RTP is low or there is any discrepancy in math then it is not possible to retain player even with gorgeous graphic.

What matters most to you in this type of game: fast rounds, high multipliers, or the gameplay itself?

No, after trying it, I usually go back to classic graph or Aviator & BC Crash type interface. Reason for this is Visual Distraction. There is no unnecessary animation in traditional graph or simple line, just number and multiplier increasing in front of me. Attention can be kept completely on numbers to press the cash out button. When you see character running, obstacle coming in front or speed increasing, it is often few millisecond late to make decision. And in crash game, that fraction of a second is enough to make entire bet disappear!

Honestly, I don't really enjoy playing games like "Crash Games." 🙋

These games have a certain amount of trickery, and (being paranoid) I react very negatively to such things. In general, I don't really like virtual runners. I prefer strategy games. However, I understand that for a player of classic runners, games like "Crash Games" are dangerous psychological traps. The player experiences severe cognitive dissonance. In computer games, they are in complete control of the gameplay. The outcome of the game depends on their own actions...

In games like "Crash" everything is different. In them, the outcome is predetermined, and everything else is just an illusion that confuses the player and makes them increasingly immersed in the gameplay.

If a game like "Crash" is very detailed, then, in my opinion, it's even worse! The player's brain is overloaded with visual and auditory information. And this (in turn) leads to mistakes and rash actions. 🤷

To me, it feels more like an actual game than a traditional crash interface.

This is where game really lies. If you are pro player then Proving or Provably Fair Tech, Hash verification should be of utmost importance to you.
And speaking for myself, I always want to finish my round quickly without server lag and for me, auto cash out needs to work perfectly.
Sometimes I play up to hundred rounds in a session, so if gameplay gets too fancy and speed of rounds slows down then my interest in game decreases.

So I would say that effort like EORunners are good for attracting casual player & beginner. But if crash game is made more game-like and visual clutter on core mechanic is created then it will be 100% annoyance for hardcore gambler.

The visual expect of the game is good to create some feels but it's not that important than the game RTP, and mathematical setup.
I can play any form of the game if the game result is fair, and have a good multipliers because if the game doesnt the gameplay experience will still be boring even it nice visual effect.

To be honest, both are important to me. Reasons for importance of both are different. When you bet, RTP and house edge are what really determine future of your money. Afaik, most crash games now have RTP of between 97 and 99%. That mean house edge of 1 to 3%. It will be same regardless of your game skin. But I admit, visuals and feel keep me playing game for long time and sometime even annoy me.

EORunners aren't actually changing any underlying random number generator or crash point calculation, are they? we are actually getting same mechanic in new packaging in every runner style game. And these were done long ago by Aviator & Spaceman. Afaik, Aviator itself brought this format to mainstream. And since then every big crypto casino has created its own version.

Lately I’ve been checking out different crypto crash games, and most of them feel visually very similar: a graph, rocket, plane, multiplier going up — and you have to cash out before the round ends.

Curious what experienced crash players think:

— Does the visual/gameplay format matter to you, or mostly RTP and math?
— Would you play something like this instead of a classic crash game?
— What matters most to you in this type of game: fast rounds, high multipliers, or the gameplay itself?

Go ahead and try to build that, but appeal of it is based on the design, not the description of it. Because that's just describing same idea. You can do a really horrible looking game based on that, or quick and responsive game with rewarding graphics.

If you would have totally original game, based on original game theory, then it would make sense to ask if it works on paper. But you can make idea that's based on dice or rock paper and scissors, and it could be one of the coolest looking games, or generic garbage that interests no one.

I think it was kinda new to some gamblers. I would probably try it because it was kind of new to me and I feel like it was worth a try, but I think it was just kind the same as the other I try to find a similar game to this one. I've searched for some running game crash on some website, there are also cars driving and some cartoon running, but it was just feels similar to the traditional graph and the popular rocket crash game.

- I think the visual would matter most of the time. I mean, it was mostly a gimmick, but gamblers for sure want to try something new most of the time, but for me, long term, I would probably just go back to the traditional one, where I think I'm already used to playing and winning.
- I would probably play since it was new, but go back to the traditional one if the experience was not really great.
- Gameplay was just the most important, and also the multipliers, visual was not going to matter a lot. If you feel like losing to a certain game, I wouldn't play it I would switch easily to other games where I mostly winning.

But would you agree that variation of crash game on screenshot look very simple, as if it was made quick and flying dot does not look like something exciting to play. The game did not have any sound effects at all. Futuristic and bulky UI no doubt is too much, but plain and simple game aint good also. I think having some dynamic moving objects and not plain background is a must for crash game.

Many sites have made variations to this but the classic one is the most liked one. Of course some colours and effects to up the action does matter but end result is the same game.

Its like dressing your partner in different clothes only to make love to the same person every night

So stick to the one sites where you find your CPU usage is the miminum and the site is reputable enough to not scam its users and play on that instead of looking for multiple sites.

I have an idea to liven up crash games a bit.
I’ve been playing EORunners off and on lately, and I thought: why not start a little forum challenge?
The rules are simple:
Log into the game → do a few runs → post your best score or multiplier here.
No “tips” or stories about guaranteed earnings—let’s just see who can get the highest x.
I’m starting today with:
x6.35
Anyone who wants to join is welcome. It’ll be fun to put together a little leaderboard right here in this thread.

Just having a flying dot would make the game a bit boring to play. It's still a crash game regardless, but I would prefer crash games with an airplane or some kind of flying object. I can't even count how many crash games I've played or tested. They all look quite similar, although some have different UIs and different flying objects. It's actually new to me to hear about one with a running character. I might have to try it out and see how interesting it is. A running character would make it different from the usual crash games, which might be interesting for some gamblers. But then, think we should try to maintain the idea of crash games using flying objects. I doubt the new concept will become as popular as the traditional ones.

Does the visual/gameplay format matter to you, or mostly RTP and math?
I see gambling as entertainment. Apart from the RTP and math, the visuals of the game I play should be appealing. I also somehow feel that with crash games with simpler graphics, like only a graph for example, the chance of them scamming me is higher. I am not sure if I am the only one who thinks this weird way. I mean, you can't even hire a better game designer or game provider, how poor are you? It's like they only exist just to scam players with their rigged system.

Would you play something like this instead of a classic crash game?
Definitely will try. So far, I've tried graph, plane, and rocket style crash games. Never heard of EORunners before. I tried to search for that title, but couldn't find it. You better share the link here.

What matters most to you in this type of game: fast rounds, high multipliers, or the gameplay itself?
TBH, it's conditional depending on the reason why I play. If I play only to meet the wagering requirement, then fast rounds matter most. If I want to get entertained, then the combo of high multipliers and gameplay is the option.

I had a really strong run in Runners today—I reached x201.37 and managed to cash out 201.36 USDT.
To be honest, in the final seconds I thought I’d held on too long, but I managed to cash out in the end.

So far, this is my best result. Has anyone else hit x200+ in similar crash games?

I agree with you. I dont think that people play much different than original versions of gambling games. With slots it is a bit different, game providers try to hook gamblers with graphics and interface. As to original games, people still prefer dice, crash, keno, mines, plinko, but the games like stair, flipping coin, tower, circle or wheel or ring - imho people dont play them much. Concept of a running man might be interesting just to try, yet people will return to original games anyway. Btw, what would be the concept of a running man game? In crash an object flies high. In running man clumsy character run until he fells down ?

RTP and math matters but of course a good visual games is always an eye candy for any gamblers.  So why ask to choose between the two when you can deliver both.

Would you play something like this instead of a classic crash game?

I prefer the better visual presentation games. and I think every gamblers do as long as there is no difference on the game mechanics and RTP.

What matters most to you in this type of game: fast rounds, high multipliers, or the gameplay itself?

The option to choose.  Why not give the features of letting the player choose when it comes to game pace.  About multipliers, it is always great to have high multipliers, gamblers love that.
