Jump, duck, dodge. For real.
Voxbug Run is a runner game kids play with their whole body. Stand in front of the iPhone or iPad. When you jump, duck or step to the side, your little voxel bug does the same, racing through the garden ahead of a hungry crow.

Your body is the controller.
Prop the device up, step back until the camera sees you from head to knees, raise your hands and go. Every move on screen is a real move in the living room.
Hop over
Pebbles, logs and lava strips. Jump and your bug leaps.
Squat under
Low branches and angry wasps. Get small to slip beneath.
Change lanes
Step left or right to switch between the three lanes.
Keep running
Run on the spot to keep the crow behind you.
Power-ups add their own moves: flap your arms to fly with wings, punch to swat wasps with the Super Punch, clap to scare the crow away, and strike the pose shown on rainbow gates.
A whole little world to run through.
Six worlds, fourteen bugs and surprise challenge phases. The floor turns to lava, the rain falls in giant drops, acorns roll at you, and mushroom trampolines send you into a sky full of honey.
Easy for the little ones, sweaty for the big ones.
- TinySlow and forgiving, with a starting shield and no running required. Made for the youngest players.

Questions
How much space do we need?
About two big steps back from the device, usually 1.5–2.5 metres (5–8 ft), so the camera sees the player from head to knees, and enough room to jump and step to each side. Clear away anything you could trip over, and keep the device on a stable surface at about hip height.
Does the camera record my child?
No. Camera frames are analysed in memory by Apple's on-device body-pose detection and thrown away right after. Nothing is saved, uploaded or shared. See the privacy policy.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later and a front camera. Without a camera you can still play with touch.
We bought something on another device. How do we get it back?
Open the Parent zone (behind the parent gate) → Store → Restore purchases, while signed in with the same Apple Account.
Something isn't working.

What are good active games for kids to play indoors?
Voxbug Run gets kids moving in the living room: the iPhone or iPad camera turns jumps, ducks, side steps and running on the spot into game controls, with no controller or extra hardware.
What age is Voxbug Run for?
It is made for ages 4 to 10, with a slow, forgiving Tiny mode for the youngest players and harder modes for older kids and grown-ups.
Does Voxbug Run need a lot of space?
No. The camera adapts to each player's size, there is a seated mode that uses leaning and bending, and a touch mode for when moving is not an option.
Is Voxbug Run free?
Yes. The Garden world and the first bugs are free, and honey earned while playing unlocks more. Optional one-time purchases sit behind a parent gate; there are no subscriptions.
