Run as far as you can, dodging obstacles and picking up coins

TubeGames verdict
Subway Surfers with the Cut the Rope frog, missions instead of a pure endless track, and it's better for it.

Om Nom Run is a lane runner starring the green thing from Cut the Rope. You sprint through Nomville, swap lanes to miss traffic and enemies, jump barriers, slide under the rest and hoover up coins. The first run felt like every runner since Temple Run, and then a mission popped up asking me to collect letters, and the game got a shape.
That's what keeps it going: levels with objectives. Cover a distance without crashing, pull off stunts, collect orbs, and each level hands you a star rating. Power-ups like magnets, rockets and jumping boots break the rhythm, and coins buy Om Nelle and other characters from the Cut the Rope crowd plus outfits. Locations shift from streets to rooftops to tunnels and a robot factory, which keeps the track fresh. When you just want to run, endless mode is there.
The complaints: the swipe drops a lane change now and then when things get fast, and that's always the moment you crash. The stunt missions are fiddly to trigger on purpose. And most of the roster exists to be bought, not to change how you run.
Kids will love it and runner fans will find it a solid, cheerful one. If you want the rush of Subway Surfers at top speed, this is a touch gentler.
Good
- Missions and star ratings give runs a goal
- Locations change enough to stay readable
- Magnets, rockets and boots break up the rhythm
- Endless mode when you just want to run
Not so good
- Dropped swipes at speed, right when it matters
- Stunt missions are fiddly to trigger
- Most characters are cosmetic
About Om Nom Run
Try to run as far as possible by avoiding the dangerous obstacles and enemies, collect coins and transform Om Nom into the fastest runner possible!
Om Nom Run was published on YouTube Playables on 2023-08-15 by Famobi. In 1152 days it has reached about 21M plays.
Om Nom Run is an endless runner. You keep Om Nom moving forward, dodging the obstacles and enemies in the way and grabbing coins as you pass. The track does not end; it just gets harder to read at speed.
Coins go toward making your runner faster, so distance improves through upgrades as well as practice. Runs are short and instantly repeatable, which makes it easy to try one more. It runs free inside YouTube with no download, so nothing stands between a spare minute and a run. Good for kids and anyone who likes runners.
How to play: Swipe left, right, up and down to change lanes, jump and slide past obstacles.
Good for: kids, runner fans, quick sessions
How to play Om Nom Run
- Phone / tablet
- Swipe left and right to change lanes, swipe up to jump and swipe down to slide under obstacles.
- Desktop
- Use the arrow keys: left and right for lanes, up to jump, down to slide.
- Modes
- Levels with set objectives (distance, letters, stunts, orbs) plus an endless run mode for chasing a score.
- Levels
- Each level has its own challenge and awards a star rating when you complete it.
- Progress
- Coins unlock characters from the Cut the Rope universe, starting with Om Nom and Om Nelle, plus outfits.
Every obstacle has one right answer, lane, jump or slide, and the track is built so you only ever have to make one of those choices at a time until the speed ramps.
Tips for the far distance
- Swipe early, not on the obstacle. The input takes a beat to land. Move the moment you see the barrier, not when you reach it.
- Stay in the middle lane. From the middle you can dodge either way. Both edges take one option off the table.
- Grab the magnet, skip the rest. Magnets are worth a detour for the coins. Rockets are fun but they dump you back into traffic at speed.
- Do missions on purpose. Read the objective before you run. A letters mission is a different route than a distance one.
- Slide when unsure. A slide recovers faster than a jump, so if you can't tell whether the thing ahead is high or low, sliding is the cheaper mistake.
Om Nom Run vs Subway Surfers
Same three lanes, same jump and slide, same coins. If you've played Subway Surfers you'll be dodging Nomville traffic within a run. The difference is structure. Subway Surfers is one endless track with daily challenges hung on it; Om Nom Run is a list of levels with objectives, letters to collect, stunts to pull, distances to survive, each rated with stars, plus an endless mode on the side.
Subway Surfers is faster and slicker at the top end. Om Nom Run is friendlier, gives you a reason to start each run and a bright cast from Cut the Rope. For a kid or for a short break, I'd point to this one; for a high-score chase, the other.
