Review SneakyMonkey 4/5 · Dec 28, 2015
There are two facts about this game. 1) You are a pug. 2) You were born to run. Except sometimes you're a cat or maybe a penguin. But mostly, you're a pug, and you run. You run through day. You run through night. You run through snow. You run through rain (and get electrocuted for your folly.) There are spikes …
There are two facts about this game. 1) You are a pug. 2) You were born to run. Except sometimes you're a cat or maybe a penguin. But mostly, you're a pug, and you run. You run through day. You run through night. You run through snow. You run through rain (and get electrocuted for your folly.) There are spikes and buzzsaws and lava in your way. There are also treasure chests. You ignore them. You are a pug. You have no thumbs and are too busy running.
Basically, this is a fun little game you can play for a few minutes if you've got some free time, but beware, because this is one of those "just one more try" games. The world is randomly generated each playthrough using a set of potential danger tiles that change setting and style every few thousand points, and you run automatically. Spacebar is the only key you use, jumping over obstacles. The various pugs and other animals you can play as have different abilities, like running faster, double jumping, long jumping, and more. The music's as cute as the game, too, with two songs it switches between every life. It's only $1 at full price, and totally worth it.
