MicroPets Runner is a classic side-scrolling endless runner where players dodge monsters and obstacles as they move faster and faster through the various maps, collecting coins along the way. One wrong move means starting all over from the beginning. Power ups are available in the shop or collected throughout their run, slowing down time with the snail, using the shield to avoid all obstacles or picking up a magnet to ensure not a single coin is missed! Featured are six stunning environments, each with its own obstacles: Snow, Desert, Jungle, City, Factory & Space! MicroPets Runner is built by Cubix, an award-winning development studio.
