I played this back in 2016 and didn't get into it. The whole deal with making platforms appear and stuff just wasn't fun for me.

Alpha Runner is a no-frills arcade platformer that embraces the core philosophy of endless runners: simple to understand, difficult to master, and built around the pursuit of improvement through repetition. Developed and published by LightsoutGames, it strips the genre down to its essentials, offering a fast-paced experience where survival depends entirely on reflexes, timing, and the ability to adapt to...

If you’re looking for a challenging platform race with no-return, then this is the game for you. Alpha runner forces players to constantly collect a cube in order to progress to the next … before the current floor they are on disappears . Later in game, there will be more obstacles on the platforms, such as rolling spikes and hammers. There are also mini-games that you partake in, before resuming to the original run....

Random generated platform jumper in the vain of Geometry Dash but here you've got random character at start. Some of them have abilities like double jump, low gravity jump etc. A few modes to choose from, not much different from each other. Music is hypnotic. Not interesting enough to recommend it though.

(Got this game for free from indiegala.com . Thanks, guys!) For a runner that claims to be an alpha, it only serves as an alpha in versions rather than in quality... Alpha Runner is a game that it claims to be...a runner and the first one made by its developer. It's a game about running on a path and collecting what I would call "sparklies" (for lack of a better name). You grab a "sparkly" and you get some...

After some additional gameplay I've decided to change my review. This is a randomly generated platformer game where you need to collect white blocks that generate next tile for you to jump on. You start with randomly picked character, some of them has special abilities: - white guy - no special abilities - sportsman - faster movement - spaceman - so called moon-jumps - double-jump man - well, ability to do double...

"Activate the next platform over power nodes" Alpha runner is a nice little & minimalistic platformer. The levels assemble randomly after each powernode you collect.There are random characters, random bosses and some traps like spikes and hammers. The game also support different game modes but which are just for tryout purposes. Like upside down, timemode or practice mode. So the achievements turnout easy except the...

Alpha Runner is as simple and retro of a game you can get. All you do is grab orbs (of sorts) and then the orb moves to the next platform. The level is one continuous level that never ends. It's all about seeing how many orbs you can collect while navigating your way through the procedurally created levels. You are faced with spikes on the floor, circular saws, pounding "boulders" and of course the open space...

This is not a recommendation, but an informational review. The game is interesting and simple. The developers are great for finishing the job and releasing the game. There is nothing wrong with it, except for memory overflow. (after ~100 deaths) In general, an ordinary platform game with its own mechanics is played easily and interestingly. Achievements are quite simple, except for getting 200 points, but with...
