Steam review snapshots
For those who don't it's a challenging enough runner, but once you learn the patterns it becomes pretty simple so you may…This game is definitely an endless runner done well – the controls are simple (arrow keys and WASD to determine your jumps)…{ Graphics }— ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long…It's a short game and which makes sense because it's not expensive.Why it fits
Check it if you want action filtered by weird, single-player.
