Not just the looks of a classic game, also the gameplay of a classic platformer. This game is NOT EASY! you have an endless amount of lives, so you can quickly restart a level when you miss a jump, get hit by an enemy, get bitten by a plant, get hit by a spiky-ball, crushed by big statues, run onto spikes, get hit by a wasp, or any of the other many ways you’ll get stopped in your run. BUT when you do complete a level, the rush you get will keep you coming back for more, and more, and more, and.. Unlock special temple levels by finding hidden keys, unlock a flip-mode by completing a level both within the time set, and also by collecting all the coins in a level. Stardash is all about the gameplay thrown at you in awesome retro graphics and original chiptunes. ** OTHERS SAY: "all the ingredients needed for platforming excellence" - iFanzine "Orange Pixel nailed everything they were going for in this veritable symphony of old school gaming." - Appolicious "back to my early years, playing my favorite platform games" - unbound gamer "if you’re not gonna grab this, you will miss something truly wonderful" - app-score

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!

Verdict
