Neon Runners: Craft & Dash, a new side-scrolling platformer, is now available on Android. This global launch features adorable anime girls navigating challenging obstacle courses. A key selling point is the ability to create and share custom courses with other players.
Anykraft, the developer, clearly draws inspiration from Nintendo's successful Mario Maker formula. The game replicates the map-making and sharing features that made Mario Maker so popular. Players control cute anime girls, skillfully maneuvering through perilous obstacles across both pre-designed and user-generated levels.
However, a significant drawback, potentially off-putting to many, is the game's integration of cryptocurrency. Players earn sweepstakes tickets redeemable for rewards, including Bitcoin. While the developers highlight this feature, it's a point of contention for some.
The "Craft" aspect of the title likely refers to the course creation element, perhaps also serving an SEO purpose. The gameplay appears fast-paced and visually appealing, thanks to vibrant graphics and demanding obstacle courses.
Despite the potentially controversial inclusion of cryptocurrency and a friend referral reward system, the game's core mechanics might appeal to those unfazed by such elements.
