Run Jump Go is a fantasy-themed endless runner with pixel art graphics. Your character can jump by tapping the left button. To attack, tap the right button. Attacking also causes your character to lunge forward, and it can leave you vulnerable if you do not time your attacks well. Note that you can jump as often as you like, but you will need to wait a moment after an attack before you can attack again. Hint: the stick-figure animation on the attack button will flicker and reset itself when your character is ready to attack again. This game features five playable levels, and each level has its own Leaderboard. If you have a Game Center Account, you can challenge friends to beat your high scores on the Leaderboard. At the start, only one level is unlocked, but all five can be unlocked fairly easily and it takes only short tutorial (about one minute long) to learn to play. Enjoy the game!
