does not work

Your game does not start. All I see is the ad running there. I waited long enough to see that it isn't starting and even tried loading it again with the same result. Fix your shit.

Review

Let me start by saying if this is your first flash game, then you did a badass job, and have a good concept going here. However it's bland, and generic, VERY generic, but that's ok.

What you could of done to prevent this:

1. Upgrades (games of this genre, 'running games' have upgrades, and some don't. So it's obvious which ones will stand out more, the one will upgrades.) You could have a classic mode, or an upgrade mode. Neat concept.

2. Achievements (same applies to this, in the sense some do, some don't)

3. A short story of some sort. Maybe somebody pissed off Gandalf, and stole his Totino's Pizza rolls, so he wants them back(not really). Nothing complex, I mean you could add something complex, maybe even different levels. Like after 1000 meters, it stops for a cutscene, and then afterwards he's like in hell or something, and the background changes. Then you can reach the final 1000 meters, and get an ending. Also alternatively you could have an infinite mode too, which is unlocked after beating the story.

Overall a 5/10 suits this well. If you had everything mentioned above, you could of had yourself a game worthy of front page. I hope a lot of this helps you, I would love to see a game like that.

lil backstory

ranked 19th all time! fun little game, what a challenge for the hand-eye, my eyes were all over the place, don't think I clicked fast enough on those castles. Nice music choice. Needs a story or short clip before it to give it some meat, what's he running from, or running to?
