Neon Runners: Craft & Dash bursts onto Android as an exciting new side-scrolling platformer
The global launch features adorable anime-style characters navigating treacherous obstacle courses
Game includes robust level creation tools and community sharing features
Nintendo struck gold in recent years with Mario Maker's brilliant concept of player-designed levels. Building on this successful formula, developer Anykraft presents their fresh take with Neon Runners: Craft & Dash!
The game puts players in control of charming anime protagonists as they leap and sprint through challenging courses, dodging hazards across both developer-created and player-generated stages. The creative tools allow you to build and share custom obstacles with the global community.
However, there's one potentially divisive element. Neon Runners incorporates cryptocurrency mechanics through sweepstakes tickets that can be redeemed for Bitcoin rewards - a feature the developers have prominently highlighted.
Fast-Paced Fun
While the 'craft' element might primarily refer to level creation (and perhaps some SEO optimization), the game delivers thrilling platforming action with its vibrant visuals and challenging obstacle layouts.
The crypto mechanics and referral program may deter some players, myself included. But for those unconcerned with these elements, it offers solid entertainment value.
