The Game

The Game

Studio Run is a playful side runner built entirely in Rive. We pushed the tool as far as we could to craft a crisp, living world that feels like a day-in-the-life at TheLittleLabs.


Choose your character or take a quick personality quiz, then dodge desk hazards, snag coins, and trigger power-ups as a neon galaxy parallax hums behind you. It is whimsical, humorous, and very us.

The Creative Desk Galaxy 



A layered night sky drifts behind the action with subtle depth shifts that respond to your speed. It gives the run a calm sense of infinity while your desk-world races by.

Obstacles are the artifacts of studio life. Coffee cups, mic stands, cable nests, mice, and mind the tablet pen that loves to roll exactly where you need to land.

We used Rive to test limits in character rigs, layered parallax, interaction states, and lightweight performance. The result feels immediate, modern, and handmade.
