A simple game. To be expected for its low price. Unfortunately it's not the endless runner type game as you can reach the end but hey, it's a good play if you're bored. Bonus points for the Scooby-Doo reference.

"Z Runaway" is a Car arcade game in which you get on the mad speed in the van, get the money on the road! And try not to break up and lose everything you've been able to gain from your long life at the warm, sunny shore of the sea.
You maneuver the car with spacebar or per click.
The Artstyle and music was nice.
It took me around 0.6 hour to finish it with all achievements. You get an achievement for every car and for some other stuff.
I got the game for 0,55€ which is pretty good for this game, i dont know if i would have bought it for the full price.
But the game is nice so, try it out!

A simple and fun arcade. Get on the mad speed in the van, get the money on the road! And try not to break up and lose everything you've been able to gain from your long life at the warm, sunny shore of the sea.
Attention, everyone! We're looking for a van with money! And in that van, you. And you are at full speed on the road, consisting of some steep turns and trying to survive this deadly race. Intriguing, isn't it? And if there's a bunch of cash on the road that's going to be nice to put in your trunk?
Features:
Huge speed
Nice graphics
Simple conrols
Many different cars
Control in a game very simple-your van is on a road that contains many twists and sharp stones on its sides. One wrong move and the car is going to become a pile of metal junk, and all your collected money crumble on the way. Try to prevent this by turning at a strictly defined point. Your success will be calculated from how much money you can collect. You'll be able to compete easily with your friends in someone who picks up more points and lasts longer in this crazy race. You can buy yourself a cool van and get more! It's a very exciting process, and it overwhelms you a lot of fun and joy.

Z Runaway is driving arcade game. You turn left and right at the press of one button and you have to collect as much cash as possible without hitting a wall.
The gameplay is extremely straightforward, I'm confused why there's no music in-game though. Also, obviously the gameplay is extremely repetitive and all the vans controls the same. It's not an overwhelming positive review, but for an arcade game it's alright.
Overall, it isn't really worth 2$ because it's a 15 minutes game, but it's a fun arcade game nonetheless.

There are free mobile games that share the same concept and are far better than this game. It's not even endless and ends as soon as you get $5000 in a run. I've never seen a max high score in a game like this before.

[h1] Mobile Garbage [/h1]
The fact that the developers are asking $4 for this is absolutely mind boggling to me. This has less content than 90% of free phone games which is exactly what this game is. All you do is tap the screen to make the car turn and pick up cash. Once you reach $5,000 the game ends. WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THE GAME END?? AT THE VERY LEAST IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHARGE PEOPLE FOR THIS GARBAGE YOU COULD AT LEAST MAKE IT AN ENDLESS RUNNER SO WE CAN TRY AND GET A HIGH SCORE!! There's like 8 cars you can unlock and they're all boring. No special effects or anything, You can unlock everything in this game in about 10 minutes, probably less than that tbh. If you're thinking of getting this game, don't. Don't be fooled into thinking it might be fun cause it's on sale for 49 cents, save your money. Put it towards a hentai game or something.

Z Runaway is a simple but very addictive arcade game where you drive around, collect money and try to avoid hitting the walls.
All you have to do is click one single button to change the direction!
Sounds easy but the money you have to collect isn't always on the same spot and your van keeps speeding up.
Beating my own high score and collecting the achievements felt very relaxing and satisfying.
You can also buy different vans with your hard earned money.
The game runs smooth and the graphics look decent.
Even though I enjoyed it, I wouldn't pay 3,29€ for it.
I bought this game for 0,39€ when it was on sale, I think that is a better price for it.

Yay this is a kids' game super funny :)
And for 0,99€ - which means way less on sale or with a coupon - can entertain you or your kids for many playthroughs :)
The game itself is quite simple and unfortunately suffers of a quite common issue on Steam, a machine translation of the game hub store that makes the text (and there's a lot of text for such a tiny game) quite unreadable.
It's quite sad, but let's go on XD
The game as usual lets you choose from windowed and full screen modes and the graphics quality (it doesn't really affect the game xD) and well, I'd suggest you to play it windowed since you don't need a wide game screen.
Maybe, the only bad thing I found is that there's no tutorial at all, which made my first trip with the van end in a big crash at the first intersection xD
Well, you can just click with the left mouse button to make a turn :)
The game consists of an (almost) infinite race in which you control a van that goes forward automatically - you have to time every click in order not to crash and to make the right curves, turning when you have to.
Plus, you will find lots of money on the course and the cash is often positioned on one lane or on the other one, so since you can't move your van laterally well, you'll need to time the turning point so that you'll ben in the same line with the cash.
With your earnings, you'll be able to unlock eight different vans in the main menu! They also have some references to pop culture, but I think they refer to American TV shows or similar things 'cos I didn't recognize them ahah :)
Of course, as you go on the track course will be more difficult with more close turning points and the velocity will also increase a bit but everything works perfectly and I've never experienced a single time in which my click (ok, you can also use the space bar to turn but I found the mouse a little bit more suitable but anyways you can use the control you like the most!) didn't respond well. For every click I always had the perfect curve and the hitboxes are also really good, you'll never crash by going close to the wall or similar things.
The downside of the game of course is that, presenting only a desert track and just some different vans unlockable thanks to your earned money, it can become monotonous after an hour or two and this is one of the main reasons why it's best suitable for kids that look for a nice casual and light game to play whenever they feel like, since there's not a real challenge apart from the scoreboards and the achievements!
Ok, I said "almost infinite" 'cos actually the race eventually finishes, and it takes some time; being randomly created, it's based on the money counter and not the actual length (so if you don't collect money you'll go forever xD); more precisely, every 500$ earned you'll get a step up in difficulty and finally on reaching the 5000$ mark you'll finally get to the game end (of course the packs of banknotes are from 20$ onwards, not 1$ at a time ahah).
And yeah, after the 2500$ mark actually the van will start going quite fast, trust me! :)
The Z in the title by the way stands for the zig-zag road you'll be onto xD
Ok, everything said, for some cents it's a really nice game with no bugs whatsoever and especially if you've got kids or children at home they'll enjoy this little game I think, as I enjoyed them back in the '90s on the C64 ahah :)
I've just got one thing to point out: the game store page says that lots of languages are supported, but actually in game there are only few lines in English and there are no subtitles at all, at least I tried everything but I just came up with the Italian store page which is translated by some bad online translator I think. But don't care about this: no language skill is needed for this game ahah :) It's completely Unity-made and graphic-related so only your reflexes or your kids' ones will be necessary to get through it and maybe to finish it at the 5000$ mark :)
Have fun with this one :)
