13106579, Super Mario Run
Posted by hardware, Thu Dec-15-16 02:53 PM
free to try
$10 to unlock.
Actually worth it.
They aint just throw some shit up in the store. These levels are HARD.

i don't think i've regretted a +$5 game purchase
i've regretted almost every $0.99 one.
13106613, The onboarding was atrocious

The actual game is just okay IMO. Feels frustrating to not be able to control your direction. I've played the Rayman game that is very similar and enjoyed it, but this one is turning me off for some reason.
13106628, i think thats cause its a Mario game

>Feels frustrating to not be able to control your direction.

13106675, ONBOARDING FOR A GAME? fail.

13106638, I wonder if this can be mirrored over apple tv

13106668, is it your standard endless runner?
Posted by bearfield, Thu Dec-15-16 04:29 PM
curious as to what nintendo qualities could be brought to that game type
13106672, in that its not endless, yes
Posted by hardware, Thu Dec-15-16 04:36 PM
its kinda like a one button Super Meatboy

it isnt procedurally generated like most runners, so its more puzzle platformery

you know if you like it before the tutorial is over.
13107276, Toad Rally should really be the main game
Posted by hardware, Sat Dec-17-16 12:53 PM
its so much more rewarding when you get into a flow state. There's WAY more going on.
13107293, Collecting the special coins
Posted by IkeMoses, Sat Dec-17-16 03:17 PM
highlights how well designed the main mode is, though.

Getting five black coins on a level feels a lot more rewarding than any mobile runner should.
13107334, when a reviewer says something like

"I finished the game in 2 hours." No, you didn't, you idiot, you made it through all of the levels in 2 hours.
13107409, Yeah cause most endless runners are precedural
Posted by hardware, Sun Dec-18-16 07:49 PM
nghs actually sat down with a grid for this game and it shows.

The main game feels like training for the Toad Rally tho. Not to take anything away from it, that is.
13107373, Passing UNTIL they get rid of the BS "protection"
Posted by handle, Sun Dec-18-16 02:03 PM
1)Get rid of must be connected online to play.

2)Doesn't work with Family sharing 9unless you log into the app with the account that purchased it.)

Also - seems short.

First 3 levels are fun.

i can't rock with any games you can't play offline
but i really wish i could play this on the train - if so id be all in
13107416, You can't play this game offline?
Posted by StephBMore, Sun Dec-18-16 09:00 PM
Shit well I'm glad I found that out before I paid the $10.

13107461, Yeah is fucking awful
Posted by hardware, Mon Dec-19-16 09:01 AM
13107417, Not sure I'm into paying $10 for it
Posted by Ryan M, Sun Dec-18-16 09:00 PM
But it's fun thus far for the 3 levels...trying to get those black coins.

Agree with the criticism of not being able to play offline. This would be fun as hell on a plane.
13107447, These levels aren't hard at all...i ended up beating it in less than 45 min
Posted by ChampD1012, Mon Dec-19-16 05:37 AM
13107459, you got all the black coins?
Posted by hardware, Mon Dec-19-16 08:59 AM
damn.
13109864, Officially addicted.
Posted by Ryan M, Thu Dec-29-16 11:21 AM
Glad I paid for it. Not being able to play offline sucks but everything else is fun. Working my way through all the pink coins - I've only got all the black coins on the first 3 levels.
