Taking it to the End Zone with Touchdown Run for Windows Phone 8

If yous're looking for a simple game for your Windows Phone 8 device to pass brusque bits of time with, give Touchdown Run a try.

The game is almost as elementary as it can exist simply challenging plenty to arrive interesting. With Touchdown Run, y'all play the function of a football player fielding a kickoff or breaking away from the line of scrimmage heading to the terminate zone.

You have to navigate your actor through a sea of defensive players, without getting touched, and make it safely to the stop zone.

The main menu for Touchdown Run has options to view the game'southward settings and the information/about details. Settings have options to mute the audio and choose which field design you'd like.

Again, game play is uncomplicated. The football field is your playing field and your player starts on their own one yard line. Tap/hold the role player and drag him safely to the opposite terminate zone without being touched by the other team. The instance y'all movement your player frontwards, the defenders begin to run downward field.

If y'all safely get in to the end zone, you advance to the next level where the number of defenders abound. The rule of having only xi defenders is tossed out the window and there is no breaking tackles in this game. The slightest contact with a defensive histrion sends your role player to the ground and the game's over.

Your player's speed is reflective of how fast yous drag him and at that place are times you have to pause to create gaps in the defense to run through. Graphics are a trivial on the soft side and for the most part, the game ran smoothly. I did experience a few instances of lag between moving my player and him really moving. The trouble wasn't frequent enough to be frustrating but noticeable.

I tin't say that Touchdown Run is on the same level of say.. Madden... but the game is fun, simple and worth trying. It may not be anybody's cup of tea simply I plant Touchdown Run is a decent game for brusque bits of time merely I'thousand not sure it could support marathon gaming sessions.

Touchdown Run is a costless game for your Windows Telephone and you lot can observe it here in the Windows Phone Shop.
