Top Run

After playing for a couple hours, I can tell this is a solid runner game. Especially nice for quick sessions and some cool retrowave music. Fantastic price tag as well - recommended.

A great, underrated infinite runner and the first game on Steam I was enticed to 100% ("Profile Features Limited", i.e. thanks for nothing; oh well). The soundtrack is short but it slaps; it deserves a separate release.

Nice runner with cool retro vibe aesthetics and soundtrack!

great 80's themed endless runner

It's a nice and polished game. I wish it had more complex metaprogression to keep my interest coz missions become pretty long later in the game. There is also a bug with "space invaders" game on keyboard due to "right" and "fire" are the same button without a way to remap this. I've managed to beat the high score anyway though.

Top Run is a fairly standard runner that doesn't really do anything to set itself apart from other runners but is decent fun if you like this type of game. The main selling point is the 80s aesthetic, with lots of neon and cheesy synth rock and pop culture references. For the most part I think the game looks pretty good, although until you get used to it some platforms don't stand out and tend to blend into the background. Also, you occasionally trigger "buddy time" where you control your dog companion for a chance to acquire more pixels (the game's currency) and those scenes are almost offensively ugly. I often found myself getting frustrated at first, such as when "the floor is lava" is triggered while I'm in mid-jump and can't possibly get to safe ground, or when I'm about to kill an enemy that counts towards a mission goal only to have "buddy time" trigger before my projectile hits the enemy. Like most runners, though, I eventually got a "feel" for when these events are likely to ...

First off, the game has great visuals and music, plus there's lots of cool '80s references (mainly movies and cartoons). Unfortunately that's not enough to make a good game though, but if you're just looking to kill some time I guess it might be alright. Still, I think there are better alternatives out there. [b]Below some of the issues I have with the game:[/b] Enemies glitch out way too often. Every fifth run or so I've run into enemies that behave in ways they shouldn't (especially "Hammers"), and it can make them extremely unpredictable, which can end a good run just like that. The upgrades you can buy are almost exclusively extended time for the various powerups, which isn't that interesting. Unlocking everything is way more time-consuming than it has any right to be, especially since you'll just be doing the same thing for hours on end, with very little variation to keep things interesting. Missions are too often dependent on luck (getting 3 of a specific powerup in a run for...

Too bad the sound track isn't available.
