About this app

Primal Run turns your everyday run into a heart-pounding survival chase.
Lace up, step outside, and a wild animal starts hunting you through the wilderness. Your phone's GPS tracks every step of your real run, and when you enter a "forest" stretch, the predator closes in - with spatial audio that grows louder the nearer it gets. Pick up the pace and stay ahead. Get caught three times, and the run is over.

🐺 HOW IT WORKS
Run in the real world. During forest segments, a 2D parallax chase plays out behind you while immersive spatial audio puts the predator right at your heels. The faster you run, the safer you are. It's cardio with a reason to keep moving.

🔥 FEATURES
🐾 10 wild predators to outrun - elephant, bull, gorilla, bear, deer, tiger, wolf, rhino, lion, and raptor, each with its own speed and intensity.
🎯 50 challenges across 10 training plans - distance and difficulty grow as you progress.
⚡ Adaptive chase - each animal's speed adapts to your average pace, so every hunt feels personal.
🎧 Immersive spatial audio - hear the predator gaining on you. Headphones strongly recommended.
🏃 Free Run mode - build your own run: pick the animal, the habitat, and how often the forest (and the chase) appears.
🎁 Daily Chase - a new animal to unlock free every day.
📊 Detailed stats - distance, time, average pace, pace inside and outside the forest, and calories burned (with the extra burn from your forest sprints).
▶️ Run replay - relive your route, the forests you crossed, and every close call.
🏆 Achievements - unlock stronger animals, new habitats, and milestones as you conquer each plan.
📲 Shareable results - turn your run into a card to share with friends.
🔒 Runs with the screen locked - keep tracking with your phone in your pocket.
☁️ Cloud sync - sign in, and your runs follow you across devices.

💪 WHY PRIMAL RUN
Whether you run, jog, or sprint - chasing a personal best or just looking for a reason to get out the door - Primal Run makes training feel like a game. The predator behind you is the motivation you've been missing.
