Today we look at a single genre of game, the endless runner, you are on rails and you have to avoid as many obstacles as possible in an attempt to reach the highest score.
Top Run
Starting with an 80s inspired endless runner and the only game to involve actual running, Kevin and his dog Buddy have to avoid everything from bullies, aerobic girls, prisms, crt monitor heads, punk motorcyclists, digital cats and even clones on hover boards, this is basically a look at this reference type of game with the most obvious one being Back to the Future; it's so packed full of references it becomes hard to keep playing without being constantly reminded of Rick Astley. The game keeps playing until you have a house full of cosmetics.
C-Tier Game
Super Box Delivery: Beyond the Horizon
A more simpler cartoony style game, I'll let the tutorial girl tell you how this works.
Fun fact, Fera the tutorial girl is my inspiration for my Shark House lead character Popuri.
The game rewards risky strategies for higher scores as you can only score points when you drop the packages off at a station, it looks nice but a little too easy to clear and no Leaderboards means no replay ability.
D-Tier Game
Retro Highway
The best of today's three games is Retro Highway and a game I have an affinity for, in the style of Super Hang-On, you have to avoid traffic but this time you have a leaderboard and I was able to work out a trick to get a guaranteed high score by chaining the shield power up as it makes you invincible to traffic, combined with boost it really accelerates the score and because I figured this out before any one else, I topped five out of the six stage leaderboards, at time of writing I doubt I'm still top of the leaderboard as I've not played the game for two years now, the stress to maintain the record is not great for my mid 30s heart to take on a regular basis.
