CD-RUN Reviews

I usually play big RPGs and FPS games here but was in the mood for a game I could just pick up and play with friends that was similar to other "competitive party type games" I've played with friends before. This game is totally what I was looking for! I've tried out a bunch a games but this one is hands down the most polished of indie titles of this type - game sprites and screens look super clean, controls are responsive (I use a Fus1on Controller by PowerA), and the music is super catchy. It's not overly complex so ANYONE in your friends list can pick up and play, and things get pretty loud and competitive when the matches start! I'm definitely going to get more of my friends playing because I think you can get 8 people in one match - the most I had was 4 so far. For gameplay, I like how there is A LOT of level variation - the obstacles seem to be procedurally-generated so no one can really get used to a specific pattern and have an advantage. The levels get crazy haha - the direction the game scrolls (left or right), speed of scrolling (super fast to slow mo), and even gravity changes (play on the ground or from the ceiling). So basically, the object of the game is to be the last one to survive the ****ing level and it gets brutal at times! You can hop on other players' "heads" to get to a platform or just sit there and time your jump just right to let the level consume them. That's the gist of it - I recommend this game for sure. I wanted to start support more indie projects this year and this one turned out to be a ton of fun. If they port this to the Nintendo Switch soon, then I'll be able to get big groups to play at work on our big screen!

Really easy to pick up and learn, my son was hooked after one game. Each round throws in so many changes, that it is always a new experience. I can't wait to play with a full squad of human players. Move over Monopoly, there is a new game on the block that is ready to destroy civility on family game night.

This is an endless side-scrolling platformer game where you play as a running and jumping square. Think SMB games in multiplayer mode, but you have to run in one direction, and you can't pick up your friends to toss them off the edges. It's a [i]fantastic[/i] way to burn some time with friends, and simple enough to put down after a couple of runs if needed, though it's hard to put down when feelings of aggressive competitiveness continually builds. What to expect when playing with friends: so.much.laughter, shenanigans, some comraderie (if you're playing distance mode), countless expletives, and name-calling.

Great co-op game for groups! You can get into some intense battles with friends and the sudden twists keeps each race unique and exciting. Definitely worth the asking price!

Played this a lot at work with friends. This is an amazing party game: Super simple concept, but challenging and competitive. Great for socializing at events!

I definitely enjoy having more games that I can play with a group of friends. This is a fun and challenging game anyone would understand. One thing that I think would be fun to have in the future, is having additional features like multiple lives, or maybe even a coin collect that can give you "extra" lives. But overall, I definitely enjoyed this game. Would recommend for people looking for group games you can play online together!

The store page says it has full controller support, but in reality the game does not allow the use of controllers.

Super fun game that has creative and hectic multiplayer. After a few grudge matches versus your friend or partner, you may find yourself apologizing for pushing them into a pit. Oops. :)

Super-cute, quick, fun game. Great for kids, adults, and adults with kids. Would make a good party game for adults or a betting game if you only let the CPU play! A nice lighthearted change from other, more competitive and intense party games.

Played this game at Emerald City Comic Con with my two buddies and we had a blast playing. The customization for characters is great special for someone who is color blind. It even has a colorblind mode that I think is very thoughtful for colorblind gamers. Also, the randomness is great you don't know what is going to happen next so its different everytime. I love this game. Highly recommend for a fun party game!
