This version was playable only on the web and required logging in to the Mondo website. Lammy and Disco Bear were the only characters accessible, while the only accessible levels were the Park and the City. Equipping Powers and purchasing buns were not possible. Until May 17, 2013, players could not save their progress when trying out the beta version, meaning that they had to start over every time they left the game.

The full game (web version) went live on August 21, 2013<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130822105054/http://www.mondomedia.com/games/run-and-bun/ ''Run and Bun'' on Mondo]</ref>, the same release date as the "Buns of Steal" episode.
