Title: Mega Run – Redford’s Adventure

Introduction: They say patience is a virtue and in this case we agree, as we look at the newly released Mega Run, the long-awaited follow-up to Mega Jump, which sees you once again taking on the role of woodland gremlin, Redford, as he sets off an yet another epic adventure to his brother and sister, who have been kidnapped and taken far far away. It’s time to run riot…

Characters:

1. Redford: The main man. Need we say more?
2. Rosie: the only lady on the team and Redford’s speedy little sister.
3. Bluto: Find Redford’s little bro at level ten and collect yourself 2000 gold coins.
4. Sheldon the Turtle: Can be found at level 24, but if found earlier you can score 400 mega points.
5. Dizzy the Dragon: Can be found at level 41, but if found earlier you can score 500 mega points.
6. Rolf the Wolf: Can be found at level 36, but if found earlier you can score 500 mega points.

Currency:

1. Mega Points: Bag yourself a bonus 40 Mega points before even starting the game just by becoming a fan on Facebook and Twitter. Simples. Use Mega Points to purchase Gold Coins, save stars, open worlds early and buy special powers.
2. Gold Coins: The more Gold Coins you collect the more powers you can buy and the more likely you are to move up a level in the game. So if you are going to do one things in this game, we’d say your best bet is to pockets those coins.
3. Gold coins with blue arrows: The speed-boost coin.
4. Gold coins with blue square: 2 x the value of a regular coin.
5. Gold coins with red square: 5 x the value of a regular coin.

How to Play:

1. Move your character along the platform, collecting coins and forest gems. These coins will automatically unlock a “power-up”, the more coins, the better the “power-up”. Navigate your character to the end of each stage, collecting coins, “power-ups” and avoiding the bad guys to complete the level.
2. If you bump into a Bad Guy you are a-gonna, so tackle them in one of two ways. Either, avoid them altogether with a swift jump (a double tap) or, if your manly enough, and for more points and coins, bounce on top of the Bad Guy. Too chicken? Well, man up! as sometime this has to be done to reach the next level.
3. Yellow Bad Guys: Found on the stairs; must be jumped on to get the the next platform.
4. Orange Bad Guys: Only seen by the tops of their heads; when jumped on your character will be launched into the air.
5. Blue Bad Guys: Found walking from right to left; can be jumped on or over.

Mega Run Features Power-ups: With a whopping 28 different “power-ups” available, each with four different levels, you’re spoiled for choice in ways to move up and through the worlds and stages. To activate a power-up, simply run your character into to kick start the power for around 10 seconds.

Lift Platforms: These are small red-arrowed areas, which launch your character in the air, aiming to push you off the platform altogether.

Moving Platforms: Platforms which move up and down, so timed, accurate jumping and concentration is needed here. Stars: The stars will give you shorts burst of power, such as speed, strength or jumping ability.

Save Stars: Stars are hugely important as if you fall of the platform they can be used to give yourself the kiss of life. Stars can be bought with the Mega Points that you collect, but remember you only have a second or two to save yourself otherwise it will be R.I.P for you.

Bricks: Bricks must be jumped over, unless you the Embiggenate “power-up” which allows you to smash through them in seconds.

Cannons: Cannons have the ability to fire your character up or down the platforms, depending on where they are aimed.

Forest Gems: Typically hard to find are the 3 types of Forest Gem, red, blue and green, all of which will earn your lots of $$. Embiggenates: There are four different Embiggenates, blue, green, purple and red, all of which allows you to grow 2,3,4 and 5 times your original size, allowing you to burst through bricks, obstacles and anything else that might get in your speedy way.

Magnets: There are four different magnets which can be used to pull all coins close or near to you into your pocket. A blue magnet lasts for 6 seconds, a green magnets lasts for 8 seconds, a purple magnetic lasts for 10 and will double the value of each coin and the red magnet which gives you 5 x the coins for 5 times the value. Whoah, too much excitement, we might need to sit down in a minute…

Freezos: There are four types of Freezos, in ascending order of power; blue, green, purple and red. They allow you to freeze the Bag Guys, collect points for bouncing off them and (with both red and purple Freezos), smash through and destroy ice blocks altogether. Fireballs: There are four types of Fireballs, in ascending order of power; blue, green, purple and red, all of which allow you to become an unstoppable balls of speeding speedyness and (with both red and purple fireballs), you can gather gold coins at the same time.

Blazo: There are four types of Blazos; the blue and gold circle fire a firework at the Bad Guys, the green and gold circle blasts the Bad Guys into coins, the purpls and gold circle turns both Bad Guys and spike blocks into coins and doubles the value and finally the red and gold circle which converts all Bad Guys into 5 x the amount of coins. You’re going to be rolling in it.

Lucky Blasts: There are four types of Lucky Blasts; the blue question mark (3 secs), which blasts coins into golden stars doubling their value, the green question mark (4 secs), which blasts coins into blue stars doubling their value, the purple question mark (5 secs), which blasts enemies into green stars and doubles their value and finally the red question mark (6 secs), which blasts everything into five times the coins and red stars.

Jetpack: There are four types of Jetpack in ascending order of power; blue, green, purple and red, all of which allow you to fly over danger, blast the Bad Guys underneath you (green), turn the Bad Guys into coins (purple), and double their value (red). So whether you are flying over, under or through somebody, this game is a great time-waster. Addictive, fun and (relatively) simple, there’s no doubt it rivals it’s older - Mega Jump – brother.

Tips & Hints:

\*You can unlock the four worlds (Woodland Grove, Tropic Shore, Palm Cove and Scary Woods) for 250 mega points each, or unlock them by completing the previous world’s stage.

\*The Embiggenate power-up will make you bigger and let you smash through bricks instead of having to jump over them.

\With moving platforms, be sure to time your jumps carefully so as not to fall off. \Save Stars – Only use these when you really have to if you’re almost at the end, or have collected all the gems.

\*You can still lose by falling off the platform again once you’ve used your Save Star so be very careful.

\*Wait until the very edge of the platforms before you tap to jump to get the best distance.

\*If you don’t need a bad guy for a double tap or height, sometimes it’s easier to jump over them.

\*If you upgrade your power ups, you can go back and improve your scores on earlier levels.

\*Level Four is the best time to use the jet pack power-up as it’s not very stable in earlier levels.
