Read full descriptionHide full description
■ A 2-minute, one-thumb auto-battle survivor MICRO RUN is a micro survivor-action game built around ~2-minute runs. Move your character with a single thumb — every attack fires automatically. Each level-up lets you pick weapons and passives, then mow down the swelling horde in a storm of bullets. It's the "bullet heaven" rush, shrunk to pocket size. A red light, a train ride, one quick run before bed — your spare minutes become power-fantasy minutes. ■ Features • One-thumb play: move only; aiming and firing are fully automatic. • Build-crafting: 14 weapons plus passives — homing, orbit blades, chain lightning, black holes and more. • 5 worlds: NEON CITY, TOXIC JUNGLE, VOID TEMPLE, EMBER WASTES, DEEP ABYSS. • 13 enemy types and stage bosses: chargers, splitters, fleeing treasure mobs. • 4 ships with distinct starting weapons and stats. • 5 difficulties, from EASY to ULTRA. • 19 titles (achievements) that grant passive buffs when equipped. • Fast-forward up to x10. • Bestiary collection. Plays fully offline. Start your 2-minute rampage.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: MICRO RUN at 3 against Starcaster's 1. MICRO RUN also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
