Not So Familiar Gameplay

Despite the familiar – yet still stunning – art design, the mechanics of this app are notably different. Rayman instantly charges forward the moment you start playing and with just a single tap of your finger then you can help him clear gaps, avoid nasties, and collect shiny Lums. It’s pretty much the same as Temple Run and other endless running apps, isn’t it?

Changes in direction works well and you can select when and how high Rayman must jump, you can also force him onto a different path or reverse his direction – giving you the thrill of tapping at the right moment.

Although Rayman accumulates extra abilities as you progress in the game – a wall run in world 2, a helicopter jump in world 3, and a punch command in the final world – the very objective of the game is to do your leaps with perfect timing.

The stages are relatively short, however searching for glowing Lums and secret passages can take upwards of more than an hour. Lums are essential in the game and with each standard level (9 per world) contains 100 of the glowy buggers, all of which must be gained to attain a gem-like tooth. Also, if you get to collect five or more of precious chompers then you’ll get to unlock the 10th and final level of that world, set in the ”Land of the Livid Dead”. There are also moments where a timer pops out in top of the screen, and players then must avoid obstacles such as thorns, flames, and bottomless pits to pass to the exit alive.

This game also provides unlockable powers and plenty of secrets, as well as Game Center leaderboards where players can compete against others for bragging rights.
