3D Runner is an open source homebrew game that is created to run on Nintendos 3DS handheld family (3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, New 3DS and New 3DS XL).
It is a simple 2D sidescroller but with stereoscopic 3D. You can controll a little guy on the left of the upper screen, running to the right, avoiding obstacles by jumping.
If you just want to play it, you need any 3DS device prepared to run homebrew. If you don't have a prepared device and don't know about how to do it or even what it is, you can start by checking this site: http://smealum.github.io/3ds This "soft" way of hacking is not dangerous or illegal. It won't damage your device and is reversible at any time. These hacks are using exploits in games or in the intern browser to run some code from your (micro) SD card that is able to launch other applications - the homebrew launcher. Currently every firmware version of the 3DS family is supported (today's version is 10.3.0-28).
The player is automatically running to the right, speeding up at the beginning. From time to time gaps in the ground will appear the player has to jump over. If he falls down out of the screen, the game is over.
Controlls:
- Jump (While on ground): A, UP, L
- Jumpkick (While in the air): B, RIGHT
- Slide (While on ground): B, DOWN
- Restart: SELECT
- Quit: START

I installed:
- devkitPro with devkitARM that contains ctrulib
- sf2dlib a simple and Fast 2D library for the Nintendo 3DS (using ctrulib)
