Το παιχνίδι που ήταν διαθέσιμο εδώ και κάποιον καιρό για κινητά και στο facebook μεταφέρθηκε και στο steam. Έχεις έναν χαρακτήρα που τρέχει μέσα στην πίστα και πρέπει να προσέξει δύο πράγματα: τα εμπόδια μπροστά του και τον npc που τον κυνηγάει. Δεν υπάρχει ελευθερία κινήσεων καθώς ο χαρακτήρας σου τρέχει και δεν σταματά για κανένα λόγο, οπότε ο ρόλος του παίκτη είναι να πατήσει κάποιο από τα βελάκια στο πληκτρολόγιο για να κάνει την κίνηση που πρέπει στην σωστή στιγμή ώστε να αποφύγει το εμπόδιο. Σε κάποια σημεία οι πίστες σου προσφέρουν την επιλογή να κάνεις μια 'παράκαμψη' αλλά ο σωστός δρόμος αν θέλεις να τελειώσεις με 3 αστέρια είναι πάντα ένας. Με άλλα λόγια δεν έχει νόημα να επιλέξεις την παράκαμψη. Οι πίστες είναι μικρές και αρκετές και τελειώνουν σε 1-1,5 λεπτό η κάθε μια.

Το γιατί και πως συμβαίνει δεν το ξέρουμε αφού για κάποιο λόγο τα cinematics που φαίνονται στο trailer ΔΕΝ υπάρχουν στην έκδοση του steam. Τεχνικά δεν είχα κάποιο πρόβλημα. Το γιατί δεν προτείνω το παιχνίδι είναι επειδή έχει λιγότερα features από το facebook και την έκδοση για κινητά όπου και μπορείς να παίξεις δωρεάν. Εκτός από τα cinematics, τα bonus levels του τρίτου world λείπουν και θα προστεθούν κάποια στιγμή αργότερα. Το ίδιο και τα leaderboards. Τέλος υπάρχει και ένα προβληματικό achievement που θα εμποδίσει πολλούς να πάνε στο 100%. Τελευταία φορά που εμφανίστηκε ο developer στο forum υποσχέθηκε ότι θα το κοιτάξει και επίσης ότι θα προσθέσει τα πράγματα που λείπουν. Όλα αυτά αρκετό καιρό πριν και μετά δεν ξαναεμφανίστηκε.

Είναι λοιπόν η νοοτροπία του να ζητούν 6 ευρώ για ένα ημιτελές παιχνίδι το οποίο να υστερεί από τις άλλες δωρεάν εκδόσεις του που με κάνει να μην το προτείνω.

EDIT: Μετά από κάποιο καιρό ήρθε ένα patch που προσθέτει cinematics

EDIT2: Με το τελευταίο patch διορθώθηκε και το προβληματικό achievement και ο developer είπε ότι θα προσθεθούν και κάποια άλλα πράγματα όπως level editor, leaderboards και hunter mode. Αφήνω αυτούσιο το αρχικό review αλλά το αλλάζω σε θετικό. Αν και είναι κατακριτέο και άσχημο να χρειάζεται ένα παιχνίδι 2 μήνες για να διορθώσει τα προβλήματα και οι προσθήκες θα έρθουν πολύ αργά ίσως γι' αυτούς που έχουν τελειώσει ήδη με το παιχνίδι αυτό δεν ενδιαφέρει τον υποψήφιο αγοραστή τώρα. Αυτό που έχει σημασία λοιπόν είναι ότι τώρα το παιχνίδι είναι ολοκληρωμένο και θα γίνει ακόμα καλύτερο όταν προστεθούν και άλλα.

There were no negative reviews when I looked, so I gave it a chance. Based on the video, I was expecting a bit more control over the action. The gamplay is too simple to keep me interested, but people who like simple tap-on-time games might like it.

It's a "hit the button on cue" game. The guy automatically runs, and you have to press up, down, left or right on cue to make him jump, slide, or speed up. Special tricks other than those basic moves are done by hitting the up arrow when you're right underneath a 'special trick' cue block. You can't do any trick at any time. You can jump or slide, but not speed up or choose how you vault over an object.

There are no options other than resolution, and there's no gamepad support. (You'd have to use JoyToKey to assign keyboard mappings to your gamepad.) You can't change key bindings.

It has user profile support, so if more than one person plays on your Steam account they can do so without changing your progress. There doesn't seem to be any reason for this though, because there's only one way to do any given level, and you can go back and redo them at any time.

It's not a bad game or anything. The animation is really well done, and the moves flow really well. It plays like a lot of online Flash games, where something complex is happening and you introduce mild changes to it by tapping a button at a specific time.

[EDIT]:
I was getting complaints that people thought I hadn't put enough time into the game to form a good opinion. So, I dove back in.

As a result, I'm downgrading my review. In addition to the gameplay being mind numbingly boring and not delivering on gamepad support (which has since been removed from the store page), there are critical gameplay issues.

First, you have almost no control over what move the guy does to pass an obstacle. He might vault it, or he might jump. The game does seem to take a cue from how close you are to it, but it's a very small target and it makes a lot of difference to where you end up when you regain character control.

Second, whereas he's pretty smart about picking cool-looking moves, he's dumb as a sack of bricks when it comes to jump distance. You can't hop between platforms if they're too close. You'd think he'd figure it out, but he's like "Nope, you pushed up, I'm going for full air-time even if it makes no sense and I fall down that pit." I thought game devs had figured this mechanic out with Mario 1 for NES, but no, apparently not.

Third, you very often find that although you think you did fine in a level and picked up all of the pickups, you do not have enough to buy the next level's skills. You have to either go back and grind that level again, or just play the next level without its extra tricks.

Fourth, I was told world 2 was better and I should get to it before judging. Well, turned out after I suffered through world 1, I didn't have enough stuff to unlock entry to the mystical wonderland of world 2. When you finish world 1, you most likely have to go back and grind world 1 again until you've accumulated enough stars or coins. (And, it's a LOT of coins.)

Fifth, pickups seem to often be a trap. Going for them sometimes seems to be the wrong thing to do, and if you do you always lose.

Sixth, you quite often can't see far enough to the right to make a decision in time to pass an area. When you do the sensible thing, you find out mid-jump that the sensible thing traps you in a corner and makes you restart. So, you just have to beat your head on it until you memorize when those things happen, so you can get by. Given how limited your visibility is vs. the screen real estate available, it looks ridiculous on a PC. Then, just to rub it in, every now and then the camera is scripted to zoom out to the distance where you CAN see things, but only when you don't really need it.

So, I'm downgrading from "I can see some people liking this game but I don't", to "I don't understand why people like this game."

Let the rage comments flow. I've uninstalled this to reclaim the 56 megs of disk, and I'm no longer wishing there was a "meh" option so that I could leave this informative rather than negative.

I first saw this game when I was looking for new cards on the Stream Trading Card Search, and looking at the pictures and the description it sounded like a game I'd like since it's a platformer with parkour elements. After playing the game for over an hour, I 100% approve of buying this game. It's cheap (less then $10 USD!), installs really fast (no kidding, this game is a puny 56MB!), and plays fast too. It's perfect for people who enjoy games like Mirror's Edge (both real game and the 2D platformer made by Brad Borne, creator of the Fancy Pants Adventures games) and platformers like Super Mario, Sonic, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER. Trying to get three stars in all the courses is quite a challenge and requires a lot of dying (which you get achievements for both getting three stars in all courses and the amount of times you've died). Even though I haven't beaten the game yet, I'd recommend all of my friends to at least try/buy this game.

Now i must admit that i thought i was going to like this game and i do just wasent prepared for how much of my time it was going to take up.
Started playing the game and thought "Ok the graphics are ok,sounds ok and the gameplays ok",then something happened i got addicted to the simplicity of the game and also trying to beat the levels with all the challenges and items found on those levels.
The game just gets more challenging the further in you get and although you dont really understand whats going on (something about running with some information you shouldent have) it doesnt seem to matter as its all about the chase and trying to get to the end of the level having done and finished all challenges set before you.
Now i know its a game that has been available for tablets and the like but it does have a place on steam and is quite a challenging little game to play (i still havent finished all challenges myself and need to play again as i really want to best every level).
There are items to collect and moves to buy (these are esential in getting that perfect score on later levels as the moves are part of the levels) and also one special item that will help with the gaurd who seems to be constantlly chasing you (on one level i could actually see him wearing a red shirt as in STAR TREK as on one level you seem to leave behind that many of them dead-either they make a jump you do and fail or they make a slide you do and fall to oblivion)
In closing its a game that will divide opinion and should be taken for what it is an enjoyable little game that somehow put a spell over me until i had just acheived that one more perfect level.

I bought this game due to my fondness for mirrors edge, and the fact that this game seemed like a pretty fun idea. Seeing this game actually reminded me of the 2d mobile version of mirrors edge which I enjoyed greatly. However, upon actually playing I was met with disapointment. This game is more of a, press "X" button when you are told to. I definetely do not feel the "Free" in Free Running while playing. The custom moves are fun, however, when learning the game I missed a couple of the weird coins on of the first levels. Because of this, as I kept playing I was always just short on the coins which were needed to perform these special moves. This game was a good idea. We need another free running game. However, this isn't the one we need right now. The whole game feels like its on rails, and while an argument against this may be "Well, its a 2-D platformer" just isn't going to cut it, as plenty of more creative and engaging platformers have been made in this style, and have pulled it off well. Also, it would've been nice if instead of having to have a certain amount of coins to perform the special moves (which is clearly in effect so that players are forced to go back and play more of the levels they've beaten for no reason), special moves could have been a key combo you could press.
I do not recommend this game due to the lack of much player involvement beyond just pressing the right key at the right time.
