  [h1]"Activate the next platform over power nodes"[/h1] Alpha runner is a nice little & minimalistic platformer. The levels assemble randomly after each powernode you collect.There are random characters, random bosses and some traps like spikes and hammers. The game also support different game modes but which are just for tryout purposes. Like upside down, timemode or practice mode. So the achievements turnout easy except the grinding 1k deaths and 100 rainy days.

  Alpha Runner is a very RELAXING ... RAGE QUIT game. Two words I never thought I would put in the same sentence. This is all thanks to its groovy musical score that drowns you out in the background, while you die a quad zillion amount of times. The story is you’re an Alpha runner and your goal in life is to be a Beta runner. Get it Alpha, Beta, bad joke I know, but I couldn't resist. Being serious now, it's a platformer where you’re biggest and hardest achievement goal is to try and get 200 squares which appear on platforms that will eventually disappear as you stand on them. Also you must avoid spikes, rotating saw blades and dropping hammers. Unfortunately the game still feels like it is in Beta and this is because the developer ( http://lightsoutgames.com/ ) never seems to have a clear vision of where he was going with all this. It more looks like a product of a person who just wanted to make a game for the sake of wanting to make a game. For instance your character after a minute or so of traversing platforms will start to hold a umbrella which will spawn in, this is because there was a mini game where you had to avoid rain drops as well as continue to traverse the landscape of disappearing platforms and spikes, but the developer received a LOT of backlash about this concept and removed it, but kept the umbrella in for no reason. Also each time you die you get a different character, some characters have different abilities, one character can double jump, another character has greater speed, another character has an exaggerated jump, but some characters have no abilities what so ever and seem to be a product of a developer out of ideas. Options are really limited. For instance you can only mute sound, not turn in game sound down which can be bad for those that want to record. There are also three different modes... 1) Normal: As described above the objective is to try and get 200 squares. This took me a long time, there is an xp levelling up system and the more you level up the harder the traps get and the quicker the platforms disappear. Eventually at level 22 I was able to achieve the 200 mark all thanks to the red system which usually only gives you spikes and the Astronaut guy which has an elongated jump and allows you some time to plan ahead. The higher your level the more complicated the two mini games are in normal mode. One mini game involves you being a spaceship destroying all the other spaceships by shooting at them in the opposite direction until you come across the Mother ship which requires you to shoot at it travelling in the same direction. The other mini game requires you to hit one of three keys at the same moment the prop tells you to alas a saw blade spawns in. You must keep doing it even though it gets faster and faster until the exit door appears. These are the only two mini games in Alpha Runner and again seem to be a product of a guy only wanting to make a game for the sake of making a game and someone who didn't have a clear vision of what he was trying to achieve. 2) Speed run: Here you get a certain number of platforms and traps to try and get the quickest time on. Problem with this is that even though the number of platforms are always the same. Their layout and traps aren't each time you log out and log in it. So one lay out which allowed me to do it 28 seconds another lay out would not allow it. So what is the point of it all if it isn't consistent? 3) MLG: It's the same as normal mode but after a minute or so it will flip upside down, it flips upside down even in the mini games. No one plays this as it is too hard and the game does not give you any time whatsoever to adjust. A poorly designed mode that does not favour the gamer, hence no gamer is really ever that interested in it. 4) There is also a practice mode where you can turn traps on or off, but again this mode never adds to the achievement scoring and seems rather pointless in practicing in it. So why do I give this a thumbs up then in comparison to a weak envisioned platformer slaphazzardly put together, because in normal mode it is a really challenging and rewarding experience when you eventually are skilled enough to get your little guy to that 200 mark, and as stated before it is the most relaxing rage quit game I have ever played all thanks to a soundtrack which is the most fitting soundtrack I have ever heard for a game. Below is me showing you the various modes. Notice my best score 247! Are you game? https://youtu.be/5-_OP1pQQK8 Suggestions for developer... * Each character should have a different ability. * Get rid of the Umbrella. * More mini games. * If I’m able to opt out of the space mini game I should be able to opt out of the saw blade mini game. * MLG give the gamer more time to adapt to the world flipping upside down. * Background should change more the further you go, trees, waterfalls, comets, fireworks etc. * Speed run should be consistent in its layout. * A mode with an ending.

  This is not $1.99 levels of gameplay. This is barely even a free app on mobile phone level of gameplay. DO NOT BUY the developer obviously bought good reviews for this awful game. I played it for about 10 minutes and got all that I possibly could out of it. (I left it idling for an extra 3.2 hrs).

  remember those flash games featured in Newgrounds back in 2005? this is exactly like that, even the choppiness of the framerate is there, if you are still curious, buy it, i warrant you you won't spent more than 15 minutes in it, after that just ask for a refund

  Meh. It's an infinite runner game with some variation game modes. I didn't really like it.
