Running Girl

Running Girl is a small indie runner that takes place inside an eerie dream. The heroine continuously runs forward, and the only thing that can be done is to jump in time or make a tackle. The situation around you is surreal: familiar objects look wrong, and behind your back there is a feeling that the dream is about to turn into something worse. The game offers two approaches. The first is the passage of individual levels with gradually increasing complexity, where obstacles are placed in advance and can be learned. The second is an endless mode, where there is only one task: hold out as long as possible and improve your own result in the table. The controls are extremely simple, so the project is suitable for short sessions and for those who hardly play. The difficulty is created not by the number of buttons, but by the pace and precision: one delay of tenths of a second sends you back to the beginning. Separately, it is worth noting that the game has several girls with different characteristics and unlockable images, and the music and colors change along with the level. High score tables add a reason to come back, and short runs allow you to literally play during the break. For an inexpensive indie, this is a fair set. Although small in scale, the game packs a punch with atmosphere and rhythm. For those who love runners and don't mind a dark picture, the Running Girl will be a suitable option for the evening.
