River Runner — яркий аркадный раннер про суслика, который плывёт по реке, собирает морковки и уворачивается от речных опасностей. Меняй полосу свайпом, прыгай тапом, собирай бонусы и старайся продержаться как можно дольше. Щит помогает пережить столкновения, часы замедляют реку, магнит притягивает морковки, а ускорение добавляет драйва. Особенности: - простое управление одной рукой; - офлайн-игра без аккаунтов, аналитики; - накопительные морковки для будущего магазина; - разные скины суслика; - постепенное увеличение сложности; - русский интерфейс. Сколько морковок получится собрать за один заплыв? По вопросам поддержки, сообщениям об ошибках или обратной связи обращайтесь к нам по электронной почте: aokruan@gmail.com
