Chris Buffa (Modojo): Ham on the Run, an iPhone and iPad game from Glu Mobile, hits the App Store this Wednesday. What type of game is it? An endless runner, one with a barnyard theme. Seems like a welcome change of pace, considering that most games in this sub genre take themselves way too seriously.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): If Jetpack Joyride kept you entertained, there's a great chance Glu Mobile's Ham on the Run will do the same. Available for iPhone and iPad, this endless runner challenges you to keep a cute little pig constantly running towards the right side of the screen gathering vegetables and terrorizing chickens. Since it's free, you can expect opportunities to spend money via in-app purchase, though in a rare and welcome twist, you don't need to open your wallet whatsoever. Definitely a welcome change from the norm.
148apps: Borrowing from Jetpack Joyride, Ham on the Run! follows a journey of a pig on a mission to run far, eat veggies and jump on as many chickens as possible.
