This summer I'm going to try to review a few games that I've played and may or may have not beaten. The first game is:
I've got to run: Complete Edition
Now I decided to purchase this game because it was on sale for only 10 cents. How does it hold up? Let's see.

Story: 0/10 You must run to the right because... reasons.

Gameplay: 5/10 You endlessly run to the right. That's it.

Okay maybe there's a little more to the game. The game is an endless runner, so your character auto-runs to the right while you are only in charge of jumping. The many jumps you can do depend on the modeThe game has 6 modes to try to change up the feel. Well technically 5 modes, as one of the modes is a mirrored classic mode.

Level Design: 4/10The design is quirky. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. Each mode has a theme. The themes vary from Kitchen, to space, to medieval. Yet despite the theme, the layouts seem to be the same. Granted they are auto-generated so that no two runs are ever alike.

Music: 3.5/10 Uninspired. Again I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.

Characters: 7/10 Okay so this game features 6 characters, all of which play the same. The first 3 characters are all Marshmallow men. Roy the Marshmallow Man is the main character. Ren is the female version of roy and is made of pink marshmallows. Yor is the evil Roy, and is made up of burnt marshmallows.
The next 3 characters are guests from other Indie games. Armillo from "Armillo", Kubie from "Bit Boy! Arcade!", and Randaball from "Randaball".

I thought the indie characters were a nice touch.

Replay Value: 2/10 I can see this having replay if it was on a phone. Or if it was my only game. But it's not, so I kinda got bored with it after two days.

Overall: 4/10 The game is not bad for an indie endless runner. I just don't care much for that genre. This game really isn't much to look at, but the indie guest characters and modes give it a special flare. Overall I paid 10 cents so i wont complain. But there is no way this game is worth the full price.

GET IN THE BAG NEBBY
Yeah I'm not a big fan of the endless runner genre either. Doubt I'd ever get this game, even if it's just .10 cents

So umm...short post - I just found out that I've Got to Run: Complete Edition! is #1 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in North America.

Thank you guys all so much - I hope that everyone managed to take advantage of the sale, and that these humble games helped you to smile. I'm humbled to tears at the moment, and want to thank each and every single person who took the time to play one of these games. I promise you that I'm going to push forward and make my next big game, Monochrono, the absolute best it can be.
