Running to the right is highly popular nowadays, almost as popular as jumping up. To stand out from the crowd new additions are needed, and in the case of Rogue Runner you get a mixture of Canabalt and Metal Slug. This sounds like a really interesting synergy, but alas what would be a running platform shooter on steroids suffers from a couple of identity issues.

Casual mobile gaming and endless runners are a match made in heaven, but the bar has been set pretty high by Canabalt, the app that all endless runners aspire to. Canabalt blends nice graphics, smooth jumping animation, and heart pounding speed in a way that hasn’t been matched yet in the genre (Mirror’s Edge might be prettier, but it’s not an endless runner).
