What's New in Populus Run

2.0

September 14, 2023

We have significantly improved the gameplay. Now, when colliding with obstacles, not all runners fall, but only a part of them. Fewer frustrating mistakes, more reason to collect and save the runners! • Numerous gamepad bugs fixed, especially on macOS • Support for Nintendo Switch gamepads • Fixed a bug with texts hanging after completing levels • Enhanced game performance on new devices • Full support for the Siri Remote (3rd generation) on Apple TV, including the touch-enabled clickpad; playing on it has become much more convenient

Good Game, But Some Bugs That Ruin It

Okay, so I love Populus Run, but there are some PERMANENT bugs that I want to share with you. For example, here’s one: Okay, so let’s just begin with the fact that this is one game bug. There is more, but this is one I am going to share with you. Okay, okay. I’m gonna get to it right now. So there was this game that was called Hotdog Party. It was normal for the first seconds, and the intro showed. Do I like the intros? Uh, yeah. But this one wasn’t normal. When running time started, the title didn’t go away. And it kept like this for the WHOLE GAME. I could barely see the people who I had control with who were running. I will admit that I finished the game, but it was still distracting, because the title was still there even AFTER THE GAME. I was steamed. This was the first time I had a bug, and that ruined Populus Run PERMANENTLY for me. There are some more, but THAT’LL take me like an hour to type.
I hope Populus company can fix this, and make it playable again. Thanks!

Yes, this game is as cool as it gets!

This game is so amazing. I just want to pull my nipples off! I've never been into runner games, but this one is truly fun and amazing! You have to try it to know what I mean, so just stop reading this and go play it. It's an instant love affair to pay this game... So what more are you needing to hear?

Fun game but hate the controls

I would say play this game so much more if the controls weren’t so awkward. I wish they were smoother than pushing a button over and over again on either side. It would help if it was controlled more like a video game or Roblox. The current controls have a higher learning curve and adjustment. I’m already to the point of just deleting the app. But the concept is really fun.

I love this game

This game is amazing, it’s a runner game with, an amazing style, I can’t recommend it enough. Basically you run around dogging unhealthy food trying to get as many people as possible. I highly recommend it, if I had to rate the difficulty on a scale from 1 to 10 I’d rate it a 6.

Totally recommend! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I love this game! this is amazing because its so fun and if you lose you don't get mad unlike other games because this game is so satisfying that you collect characters and you can adjust the controls so your are more satisfied while you play! This game is for any age as long as you know how to play and my 5 year old son LOVES it so i tried it out!
