About Ruby Raid
Ruby Raid, developed by ZapGames, is a high-speed side-scrolling arcade shooter and endless running game in which you run away with a sacred ruby stolen by the all-consuming Eye God. As a platforming, continuous shooting, survival action game, it is designed to be played in short, repeatable segments by a browser and is built on the concept of a speedy and constantly-changing environment. Each session is hectic and unpredictable with constant forward-moving and increasing difficulty, which makes it very replayable.
How to Survive Each Run
- Your character runs automatically through a collapsing path
- Jump over gaps, traps, and sudden hazards
- Shoot enemies like cultists and airborne threats blocking your path
- Collect gems (Red Ruby) during the run
- Use collected gems to unlock stronger weapons from a pool of 28 guns
Timing is everything—knowing when to jump or shoot determines how far you’ll make it.
Game Controls
- Jump: Left Arrow or Spacebar
- Shoot / Attack: Right Arrow
The minimal control scheme keeps gameplay accessible while maintaining a fast, reactive pace.
