RunMan: Race Around the World is a really good game photo

If you never played RunMan's Monster Fracas, that's fine. You missed out on a great little platformer, but it's really not that big a deal. Regardless of whether or not you played RMF, my opinion of you will not change.

If you don't download, enjoy, and donate money toward RunMan: Race Around the World, however, you are a f*cking idiot.

RunMan: Race Around the World is a game where you run very very fast in a world of beautifully low-fi anthropomorphic scenery, all while listening to 1920's folk music. It is a very good game and you should play it, because that's what one tends to do with very good games. You should also feel free to donate money to Tom Sennett and Matt Thorson, because they made the game. A game which -- if I am not mistaken -- I believe I have mentioned is quite good.

I have written a longer, considerably more indepth review after the jump. You can read it while you wait for the game to finish downloading.

FUCK

I'm in love with it already! I downloaded it last night. Monster Fracas was one of the first Indie Nation games I ever played, and this is even more amazing!

Holy crap...this really is good.
I'm glad I donated before I played it...makes me feel like I actually paid for the game, rather than just rewarding it.
I'm rewarding it's very existence rather than just rewarding it because I played it and liked it.

Good review but got a little lengthy after the jump. Brevity is the soul of wit, Anthony.

Been spending wasting my time graciously with it. It's ddictive to just run on the levels. The time trails are good too but just kinda like devouring the worlds

Definitely a fun game. I intend to donate, it's worth it.

If only I had a PC as my main computer this would be a game I'd happily donate too.

You can donate a dollar. Surely you can afford to donate a dollar.

Great game. I also loved that the world select screen music was the same as that of Immortal Defense.

From a purely objective standpoint this game is indeed awesome, great art, soundtrack is fun, really fast. It's to bad I really suck at this kind of game, I hit the "Restart Race" button more than the jump button. But that's cuz I suck, not cuz the game sucks, maybe I'll get better with time. I did donate by the way.
