Run Roo Run
_Run Roo Run_ is a micro-platformer. The game revolves around a kangaroo that
must travel from Perth to Sydney in order to save her Joey from capture. The
player must make their way across three hundred levels through twenty chapters
encountering new obstacles along the way. Each chapter includes fifteen basic
stages and six extreme stages as well as weekly free downloadable maps. Each
weekly map pack includes ten new levels.
The gameplay is simple – once the player starts a map, Roo will run
automatically from one side of the screen to the other. In order to avoid
obstacles, the player taps the screen to make Roo jump. The game starts off
simple, the first chapter introducing the player to the game by jumping over
objects placed on the ground. The game then begins to add interactive objects
with each subsequent chapter. Even though there are a number of objects added
throughout the course of the game, the mechanics stay relatively the same. For
example, when interacting with a bouncy tire – the player must “tap” the
screen to jump on and then once again to bounce off the tire. When interacting
with the fans, they must tap to jump into the air stream and then once again
to jump out before they come in contact with a harmful object in the level.
Each object has its own unique yet simple mechanic.
