Great game, a quintessential runner
Ive been playing this game for years, even back when it was on Kongregate. When I found out there was a portable version I was thrilled. Ive had this app for years now, and it never lets me down. Except for those dang windows that is, I always miss those. Anyway, I realized I had never reviewed it, so here we are.
Pros:
• great minimalist graphics
•great music (the main theme is killer)
•unique "story" (not that theres really much to it, but if you can tear your attention away from the runner to look at the background, youll see all sorts of things)
•new game modes (all falling buildings, no slowdown crates, etc)
•multiplayer mode? (I havent played it with someone else, so I dunno)
•crates and similar let you slow yourself. Do other infinite runners have this? I dont recall seeing it in any others. Its a great mechanic
•portable
Cons
•WINDOWS!!!!
•procedurally generated, so while its always POSSIBLE to make the jump if you time it just right, the RNG can mess you up pretty badly
•could maybe spawn crates a bit more frequently
•WINDOWWWWSSS!!!!
All in all, a fantastic game, a pioneer in the genre. A+ 5stars. I cant see the price because Ive already purchased it, but whatever it is, its worth it.
