Gelatino

Gelatino follows a popsicle on a race against melting, swinging past traps and grabbing ice cubes to stay cool while dodging patches of heat scattered through sun-soaked levels. The melting-clock tension gives it a different feel from a standard obstacle runner — every ice cube collected buys you more time, not just points.

Controls use the arrow keys or WASD to navigate and jump, with swipe or tap controls covering the same movement on mobile. Because heat sources actively work against you, positioning matters as much as timing — staying near collectible ice cubes when possible helps offset the melt clock even mid-obstacle.

Since running out of "cool" ends the attempt regardless of how far you've traveled, it's usually worth taking a slightly longer but ice-cube-rich route over the fastest path through a level. Treating heat patches as higher priority to avoid than most other obstacles also tends to extend runs more than optimizing for speed alone.

Gelatino is a good pick if you enjoy arcade runners with a resource-management twist layered onto standard dodge-and-collect gameplay — free to play instantly in the browser, no download needed.
