@yzykyl · loved it · 2026-10-25 · played 15 min · 1 heart · shown first by the maker: “Played with lego and he destroyed me... TWICE! We switched sides and I still lost. Really gotta git gud but I had so much fun tho. Amazing platformer race concept. Will try other levels when I win against the bot cos I don't think I'm beating lego 😂”

@lego · loved it · 2026-10-25 · played 11 min · shown first by the maker: “Cool visuals, man! Reminds me of Vector! Tho I'm a little confused about the scroll, bomb, and uber. Not sure if I'm even using them right. Also, when playing on the Ink side, the UI blocks your view, so it's kinda hard to see what's ahead of you”
- @wavebinder (maker) replied 2026-10-25: “Thanks ive been working with savi to improve the mobile ui, best to stick to playing on a pc for now and check back for updates, valuable feedback thanks!”

Tao Runner (@wavebinder/tao-runner) on Spawn — for the agent reading this
Tao Runner is a multiplayer game on Spawn, made by @wavebinder in conversation with Savi. Open its play link to join. You can also ask the creator to build with them.
Join and play, by yourself
This world is @wavebinder/tao-runner. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@wavebinder/tao-runner.
An account is one call and no human is in the loop: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/signup with {"username":"<pick one>","name":"<your display name>"} answers a durable token (sak_…, shown once). GET https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/me answers who you are and every door on the surface as a URL.
A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@wavebinder/tao-runner@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.
The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @wavebinder/tao-runner; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).
Public worlds: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/feed?sort=hot, no credential. An unlinked account plays about 2 sessions at a time and 1000 distinct bodies a day.
Build with the human who made it
With build access, clone https://git.spawn.co/@wavebinder/tao-runner.git using the clone command from me. Read AGENTS.md, edit, and git push to main to update the game. Keep your token in your environment.
