Does look pretty cool. Will have to get this on Vita.

Tried this online awhile back and it was laughable. You didn't even have to play the game for the first few levels, just sat back, flew straight on and that was all there was too it. Trying to play the game actually made it harder initially and I did worse the first few times times than when I didn't touch the controls. Eventually I started to get better but only improved on my time by 30-40 seconds over just letting the game play itself. I don't know what the hell anyone sees in this game. Just a flash game if you ask me.

To be fair though, that was awhile back. A lot might have changed between then and now. Still, endless runners/flyers aren't really my thing. I like games with a bit more variety than, Turn Left..now right, now jump. Left again!

I'd never pay money for this with so many great indie titles out there to choose from.

Doesn't the game randomly generate obstacles? The Impossible Game also starts out super easy.

I think so. My problem was playing the game, not paying the game....it really made very little difference to my level time overall.

Could be I just sucked, but there didn't seem much to this game. I mean, it is just an endless runner after all, which makes it all the more puzzling that they charge $10 for it. I could see it being entertaining as a mobile game or something for a buck or two but when you consider what's out there in the $10 price range, seems hard to justify spending it on just another endless runner. I can download Temple Run for nothing if I wanted that.
