X Trench Run
About X Trench Run
Pilot a space fighter through a narrow trench, find gaps in barriers and disable laser gates as the run gets faster.
Your ship moves forward through the trench. Steer toward openings in solid barriers and keep an eye on the next obstacle while firing at defenses.
About the game
X Trench Run is a space-flight arcade game by MarketJS. The button above opens the Math Playground version; OttersPlay does not host the game.
How to play
Open Math Playground, choose Play Game, then use the game’s play arrow. If the controls panel appears, choose its arrow to begin. Click inside the player before using a keyboard.
| W / A / S / D or arrow keys | Steer the ship |
|---|---|
| Space or left mouse button | Fire forward |
| Touchscreen | Tap the play arrows to start. Steering and firing gestures were not confirmed in our simulated-phone test. |
Read the trench ahead
Look for the gap in each solid barrier and line up before the ship reaches it. Red laser gates are another hazard; the game and publisher describe disabling them. Look for the power columns at the sides and fire while keeping a safe route through the trench.
Playing on a phone
MarketJS describes mobile-friendly controls. On Math Playground, simulated portrait and landscape touch taps opened the player and began a flight, but our short runs ended in collisions before we could verify which gestures steer or fire. Try the on-screen player; if it does not respond as expected, use a desktop keyboard and mouse. Landscape gives the game more room.
