Zen Tom — Free Forest Running Game Online

About Zen Tom

Zen Tom is an endless forest runner where you play as Tom, a young explorer running through a magical forest. Collect fruits and berries to earn stars and stay alive. Dodge lions, tigers, wolves and wild boars who want to end your run. Every 300 meters the forest shifts from day to night — visibility drops and only Tom torch beam lights the path ahead.

💡 Tips & Strategy ▾

Collect honey jars. They are high up and hard to reach, but they recharge the backpack shield — worth the risk.
Use shield on lions. Lions chase you and speed up when you hesitate. Activate the shield when a lion is close rather than trying to jump over it.
Night mode changes everything. After 300m the forest goes dark. Only the torch beam is visible. Predators appear suddenly from the darkness — react faster.
Golden acorns are game-changers. They give 3 stars and a shield simultaneously. They appear rarely — always collect them.
