Mechanics

The mechanics of Mega Run resemble, to a large extent, typical 2D arcade games like Sonic. The difference is that we don't have full control over our hero. Redford is constantly moving forward, slowing down slightly only when he performs more complex evolutions or after he hits an obstacle. Our task is to avoid obstacles and jump over chasms and creatures moving on platforms. We can also eliminate them by jumping on their heads, which also results in a second longer jump. The authors took care of the randomness of individual levels, so you can go through them many times without the feeling of fatigue. The fun is diversified by the need to collect coins (which can be used for shopping in the game store) and three gems hidden in each stage.
