Extreme Pamplona
Sprint across the world, vault over obstacles, and stay one step ahead of the raging bull in this arcade classic revived for modern browsers.
Game Description
Extreme Pamplona (also known as Extreme Pamplona by Rexona) is a fast-paced running game that sends you sprinting away from an angry bull. Each level transports you to a different country, where you must leap, slide, and dash through iconic settings before the timer runs out. The browser edition hosted on SudokuFun.org faithfully recreates the Flash classic, complete with fluid platforming and the same zany art style fans remember.

Vault Windows
Look for glowing prompts signaling a vault. Press the space bar right as they appear to maintain top speed without fumbling.
Country-Specific Tricks
The Amsterdam rooftops favor longer jumps, while Kenya rewards well-timed slides. Learn each level's cadence to shave seconds off your run.
