I Must Run! from Gamelion puts you in the shoes of 
an apparently escaped convict who must run for his life, run for his freedom and run, run, run! Of course, he must sometimes jump or what good would the game be? He can also punch. Did I happen to mention the sliding?
So the game starts instantly scrolling right to left and your goal is to run, jump, and punch your way along, as far and as long as you can. Oh wait, I forgot slide. Run, jump, slide, and punch your way to freedom. This is not one of those variable speed side scrollers, this is the standard, screen moving at a steady pace, somewhat fast as well, and you must survive as long as you can.
Since it’s a PS Mini that means it’s made to also play on the PSP, so the graphics aren’t astounding, but they are definitely on part with the gameplay. The game simply starts you out and off you go. There is no choosing of levels or locations, of Adidas vs. Nike running shoes or even the color of your jumpsuit, perhaps that should be track suit. Nope. it’s just start and go. They say there is a 24 hour time limit but you would have to actually play for 24 hours it seems as there’s no save for game progress, no extra lives, no power ups and no collectibles.
At first glance, the gameplay and game itself is quite simple, run, jump, slide, punch. But upon further inspection there is more to it. The game rewards you for playing dangerously. The closer you land to an edge, the more points you will get. Of course, that means there’s a limited distance from the edge that gives a score. There is also a score multiplier for punching through obstacles, every five obstacles in a row you destroy without tripping over one, will increase the score multiplier which then increases the score of each obstacle destroyed. htt
Other than that, it’s just the four basic actions to score and survive.
Considering that it’s just $1.49, and would probably be 99 cents on an iOS device come to think of it, it’s some small amount of gameplay and some small amount of enjoyment. Considering the small amount you might pay for it, it seems like a deal if you are into the twitchy, side-scrolling survival platform genre.
