Played a bit. Seems like a solid runner -- feels a bit more like the Rayman Run games than Canabalt or Jetpack Joyride to me. Curiously, it's more technical than any of those. Not sure I'm going to play more soon, but that's mostly because I'm playing on a 12.9" iPad Pro and the game feels like it's designed for screens half that size.

#13I watched the intro video and still have no idea what this app is or does.
Not sure why you've been downvoted. I feel the same way. I have no clue what this even is from the linked content.

#14That took way too long to get to the actual playing... choosing my country(?!), linking to a nintendo account etc.
Re: Super Mario Run
#15I like the game but unfortunately Nintendo really does suck when it comes to online accounts.
I had signed in on my iPhone then also set it up on my ipad. After finishing a few levels on the iPad i went back to my phone.
The phone let me finish a level, THEN came up and said 'cant progress as you're signed in on another device' and the app crashed.
what the fuck is the point of signing up for an account if it doesnt even sync across devices

#16Many of the other comments in this thread are low-effort "mobile games aren't real games, lol."
After playing just one level, you can tell that Super Mario Run the real deal and not a cash-in (and it gets hard, especially if you want to get Black Coins). If you have an aversion to mobile gaming, give this a try.
You can play 3 levels without having to pay anything and it doesn't nag you until then, which means that Nintendo only gets your money if they can convince you if it's worth it. And they do.

I tried to connect my Facebook account and while it searches for "Friends" it crashes every time.
Re: Super Mario Run
#18I tried it and didn't enjoy it. It largely comes down to tapping the screen when you want to jump... nothing else. Not having a real controller cripples this type of game.
And yet, watch this game generate $1B.
Re: Super Mario Run
#19That website was frustrating.
- splash page that has to load the background video before you can do anything.
- you have to start watching the video on the splash page to skip it.
- horizontal navigation in the about page.
- clicking the obscure "here we go!" back link in the about page has to reload the video before you can do anything.
It looks really nice, but the interaction is incredibly slow and cumbersome.

Why sell to 80% of the market when you can can take 20%. Dr. Evil must have a job on the marketing team.
