Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #6 Exact-Psience, Sep 3, 2014 I find the character design a little out-of-place from art-style, to the "mood" psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,788 576 113 England #7 psj3809, Sep 3, 2014 Yeah same here. Plus the main character seems a bit 'clip-arty'. The background graphics look great, great imagery just the cheesy pacman character looks weak I'll get this whatever and i'm sure the gameplay is good but i think it would have been more polished without that yellow ball TapTapGo Well-Known Member Nov 6, 2013 89 0 0 #8 TapTapGo, Sep 3, 2014 Trailer 2!

I had the chance to check Noir Run out some time before its official release, and I must say it's been a pleasant surprise. In a game market full of choices, it's very seldom that you face something captivating, intriguing and fresh - and Noir Run is the case. From the first time I laid my hands on it, I noticed a superb work in the game atmosphere -really making honor out of its name- with visuals that had nothing to envy from latest indie masterpiece Limbo, and even over many mainstream million-dollar budget games. You play as a colorful smiley lost in a black and white world with menacing, dark & misty ambience. Each stage represents a new day, and the foes and difficulties in your way really make it hard to get to the end. But once you do, every day has a new learning for you to get - a beautiful parabola of real life's everyday struggle. This way you go completing your days, and collecting the phrases your masters have for you to learn, until maybe you get to know something bigger... The gameplay, along with the rich & layered parallax visuals, is one of its high points as well: it's packed full of diverse enemies in all shapes and sizes -from blades that cut through the floor, tentacles that grab you from the sky and some amazing boss fights- in a super fast-paced tempo. You need to be quick on your mind and fingers to get over this sometimes crazed out environment. Top all that with some amazing power ups and you got yourself a winner. In short: Noir Run follows the path of the best exponents of the genre and even goes its way beyond, with an interesting narrative that goes along perfectly with the game, fitting it to a T. If you have yourself some minutes to spare (and you do!) download Noir Run and give it a try... you'll experience yourself what's like to, literally, run for your life. Valentin psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,788 576 113 England #10 psj3809, Sep 3, 2014 How did you get a look at this game before hand ? Are you the dev/friend of the dev/journalist etc ? Interesting reading but hate to say it but with so few posts i'm a bit unsure of this review. Wouldnt mind hearing from a forum regular TapTapGo Well-Known Member Nov 6, 2013 89 0 0 #11 TapTapGo, Sep 3, 2014 Sound Try this with headphones on!!!!! nebulae New Member Aug 30, 2014 3 0 0 #12 nebulae, Sep 3, 2014 Hi there psj3809! Just to say that I had the chance to test the game beforehand because I was in some way a part of the project. I am a graphic designer and was contacted to work on the user interface and other graphical assets for the game. I understand you being skeptical about it, but the reason I posted this review "anonymously" (and by that I mean without mentioning the above) is that it's in fact written from my sincere & personal point of view as a long time gamer. Cheers, Valentin Lavender Well-Known Member Dec 31, 2013 2,967 0 36 United States #13 Lavender, Sep 3, 2014 Hello. It's me... It's me.... # I beta tested this game and for now, I will say it's one of my favorites in this genre. Surreal and challenging I will come back later with a review. I have a busy busy morning. rIcHrAnDoM Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Nov 17, 2008 7,936 30 38 Steelworker/Welder Indiana, USA #14 rIcHrAnDoM, Sep 3, 2014 Welcome to TA. It's my hobby to check out the latest games, so I'll be checking this out. I think it looks pretty good and I'm hoping that the smiley dude is represented as an abstract character in a "noir" world it might just end up not being cheesy psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,788 576 113 England #15 psj3809, Sep 3, 2014 Last edited: Sep 3, 2014 Thanks for letting me know, hope you stick around. Just when a newbie is praising a game like that you can understand why i thought 'hmmm' ! Dont get me wrong i'll be picking this up tonight for sure just find it a bit funny the yellow character on that Limbo type world ! But yeah someone whos involved with the game will of course praise it so i'll wait for a neutral view PeteOzzy Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2013 4,596 3 0 Norwich, England #16 PeteOzzy, Sep 3, 2014 Ah awesome, impressions from Lavender is always a good thing, very similar taste so I appreciate that for sure. I kind of like that someone involved in the project has this much love for it, it might seem a bit shill-y but the words seem genuine enough that I'm intrigued. Definitely picking this one up and reviewing it asap Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #17 Exact-Psience, Sep 3, 2014 Im sure im not the only one here, but to see a review from someone connected to the game and posting it anonymously is just... well... suspicious. TheOutlander Well-Known Member Apr 15, 2014 820 0 16 #18 TheOutlander, Sep 3, 2014 Had a chance to play it before (Beta-Tester Here!) and it's quite a fantastic game, totaly worth the $2.

Beautiful background art and soundtrack help even more...and within a milli second it's gone. I can't get over this...yellow...i...a cheap looking yellow smiley ? I end up buying this game anyways because it looks too promising and challenging. I just need one trusted post about how good the controls are and more about this revive option.
