Fred is back with a new host of painful antics, awesome acrobatic/desperate moves, special items and uber-cool locations.
Take control of our hapless hero as he pursues his quest to remain among the living! Running Fred combines ludicrously natural controls and furiously paced action with the shameless buckets of gore praised on its prequel, making up a fantastic third person platformer unparalleled on mobile devices!
Main Features:
- Lots of acrobatic maneuvers
- Dozens of perilous traps
- Multiple game modes: Adventure, Challenge and our favourite Endless Survival!
- Tons of special skills and perks
- Lot of characters to choose from!
- Pimp up your character with special outfits
- Keep your progress across all your devices

Community Insight:
Its just so good for an old game just wish that running Fred redux can come to apple.
We played it in school a few days ago on our Chromebook and it was the best game Ive ever played in school. Its so good that we wish we had a pc at home to install it on cuz on mobile we cant really work with the tilt controls. Could definitely use options for touch screen controls. Peak game though keep making more Fred.
STILL MY FAVORITE MOBILE GAME AND PLUS BRING BACK SUPER FALLING FRED PLEASE NO MORE AI.
Its a pretty fun game just wish they would push updates or make a sequel.
One of the best mobile games to exist.
We used to play this all the time with our brother when we were younger always taking turns Glad to see its still around.
We used to play this game when we were little in church this was a masterpiece we thought Fred was the guy on that Hawaiian Punch drink we were wrong but fr this is our favorite game we used to play same as ever same graphics ds us Fred pure nostalgia and if you dont like gore you can turn it off but besides that great game you should get it and thanks for the nostalgia.
Running Fred and Skiing Fred is a pretty good game. We play all the time but we forgot falling Fred for a long time so if youre the owner reading this, please bring back falling friend Pls.
PLEASE ADD FALLING FRED BACK AND FALLING FRED Z BACK.
The game is really fun but bring back falling Fred and z.
We used to play this game when we were a little little boy and we enjoyed it ever since we got our first phone which was recently Ive been playing this game. Ive also been playing this game in past devices.
Dude this game is super nostalgic just like falling fred wish we can play that but developer plz update it so we can have a nostalgic moment again on it.
This game is old and holds up well we like it you should play it.
Childhood on this and it is still the goat.
We are hoping for a new Fred game called super running Fred the concept of the game is to add multiple characters and hats just like in skiing Fred when falling Freds mouth opens with more areas like the radioactive zone volcano frozen hill from skiing Fred and the graveyard thats all we have to say.
Dedalord please bring back psychoban back to the App Store, please put updates and your are the best developer in the games.
Listen its been so many years and Im already 16 like aint no we saw this game and that nostalgia hit so bad all we ask is yall to come back and make sector 51 and make skiing Fred in this country pls love the game thanks you hope you had a good thx giving this year deadalord games.
This game was our childhood we used to watch people play it and its really nostalgic but sadly this is like one of the oldest Fred games that are on the App Store still we just want to say devs pls bring back falling Fred and skiing Fred (not sure if skiiing Fred is on the App Store or not but if it isnt pls bring it back) so dedalord pls put falling Fred back on the App Store maybe even remake it.
Also great game we love the fred series.
This game saved our life we had cancer and it cured it thank you running Fred.
Best endless runner game in our opinion, too bad the devs gave up. We love how there are so many fun bugs to exploit as well.
We love this game always have always will since the day it came out but theres this glitch in endless caves with the skewers that are on top of each other if you even get a little close to them they wipe you out you could be like 5 ft away and theyll still wipe you out fix it plz Dedalord and also remaster the other falling Freds so we could play it on our newer phones.
Running Fred is an amazing game and we used to play it a lot as a kid, coming back to the game now fills us with nostalgia and joy, however it does eventually get boring and Skiing Fred (another game we played as a kid) isnt available in our region. We hope someday they remaster Running Fred so we can enjoy a more modern version of the game and see how far the game devs skills have come.
We remember watching other YouTubers playing this game and we liked watching them.
1.we did they stop doing new stuff in the game? 2.we dont you guys dont fix the bugs? 3.why is grimmy always following Fred.
We loved running and falling Fred,bring back the falling Fred.
We cant turn at all maybe put a stick button feature with a jump button.
The gsme is great, but gamepads would be funner, with left and right button on the left, and the jump button on the right. Gamepads can be adjusted in settings or added to the screen. We feel like that would make the game feel a lot more better.
This game is perfect,we have been playing it since we were very young and after we heard sektor 51 was eventually releasing we decided to jump back in and we were hit with nostalgia! The music is a banger,Never Change Dedalord.
This game is amazing and its so great we love it its so nostalgic to us we almost cried when we downloaded it again and Im very excited for skedalor idk how to spell it sorry lol.
Can you please update this game we have iron Fred but we Havent played as him people are saying that if you play as iron Fred it will crash your game if you go to adventure mode survival mode or change your avatar it crashes your game too so please update this game you have been silent for three years not Even making a game also hope you are finished with endless sektor 51.
We think this game deserve a reward for giving everyone a great memorie of this game that everyone forgot about this game should be popular again.
Listen we already lost our other rating but Like Idk if you got it but we aint gonna write allat over again This game has a lot of bugs like one of them you know what Ima number them 1. Walking on walls 2. Massive Hitboxes 3. Unfair 4. No update since 2 years 5. More levels in survival We NEEEEEEEDDD more levels IN SURVIVAL MODE PLEEEEEEAAASSSSEEEEE and fix the bugs please thats all Im saying THAT is WHY we put 4 stars Might even put 4.5 oh well.
This game is really fun and should get more attention,but why is danger caves so expensive but cheaper on Poki some people are gonna buy their way to danger caves. Are yall wanting us to buy skullies ? We also bought value pack 3 but we only got 4,000 skullies. We tried to restore purchase but we still didnt get rocket Fred.
We were seeing if this game finally got fixed after 3 years and we were surprised that it did, we installed it and we saw everything we had, the only problem is when grabbing a mystery box, the item that is given isnt given, we got a resurrection from one and it didnt show up when we lost all our lives, this game has always been nostalgic for us but please fix the mystery boxes.
Its a pretty fun game just wish they would push updates or make a sequel.
We find this irritating that we have to pay so much in game currency and the next world is the only one like 2,499 skullies for that much is messed up honestly im still playing it but they need to focus on bug issues/prices being to high for stuff/fix skiing fred it let us play it bc of region also forgot to say we have to pay money for a bundle for a world why not separate the stuff instead its like you want us to pay you.
Why did we not receive the virtual item after making the purchase.
This game was good but the last update was 9mons ago and it is just bug fixes.
Can you please turn off the blood in your Fred games Ive been wanting to play your games but we cant because of the blood so can you please take it off or at least add a button in settings to turn off the blood or something thats why Im putting one star for your game and if you do turn off the blood then Ill put five stars so please turn off blood. Thank you.
The app is very attention getting which free us to play we played all of it even bought the other maps n stuff and it was pretty good the issue with this game is that it is relying heavily on the fact you need to buy money in order to get the other levels which is kinda redundant when you consider you do not make enough money to on each level to the point you have to constantly play the game until you miraculously gain 2,000+ to get the other map and another issue is that tbh the game isnt really all that we love the gore n the concept the issue is the value system is not good at all.
We bought a pack that has a character and 5,000 coins, it only gave us 3,500 coins and didnt even give us the character it promised.
This game will never get the Sektor 51 update and we remember that being teased back in 2012 when we played this on our IPod. The very infrequent updates have ALL made the game worse little by little, until it has been morphed into the unpolished mess it is today. The endless cave level literally has impossible obstacles that you fall right through, the heads up display of Fred had all the gore removed (which WAS the main selling point of the game), the ragdoll physics have Freds body erratically fling around at a trillion mph and way more little cracks at the seams that just werent there before. Hate to leave a bad review on a game we loved so much, but it deserves it. FIX THIS GAME.
So when we were playing we collected all the grimmy idols but when we got the skin IT WOULD NOT LET ME sadsdadarPLAY PLEASE FIX THIS.
Our son has been playing falling Fred and running Fred since he was 3! He will be 7 on Wednesday. We got him an iPad cause we heard that these games were updated on apple but its not which was HEARTBREAKING for our son. He doesnt understand that we cant fix falling Fred z he REALLY REALLYYYYYY WANTS TO PLAY IT.
There were so many bugs, at one time we couldnt even go through the third level because we were glitching through the floor, and the controls were just awful, and for some reason our controls were inverted.
Still as amazing as we remember it when we were 7.
Really good game we play it all the time we have so many coins hahahaha really fun game.
The nostalgia this game gives us is incredible from playing this game on our moms phone in 2016 it really brings us back.
Its cool we still like the game we dont it easier now that Im older lol but pretty good game we just prefer if they made sun updates to make the game better but pretty good for now.
