The mechanics are surprisingly fluid and varied, and the game is incredibly addictive. The original was an instant smash hit and spawned a franchise of spinoffs including Rio, Space, Star Wars, and Seasons among others. All are free with minimal ad breaks. Try out the most popular mobile game to this day.

Your character is on a continuous sprint and you swipe your finger left and right to avoid obstacles and pitfalls. The original was so popular it spawned a smash sequel.
