Slender Run - Only A Runner

Don't get caught up with this catchy title as Slender Run is only an endless runner, nothing scary about it.

Slender Run is a totally indie game made by two guys, one as designer, the other as illustrator. You will find their names under 'credits'. Their idea was to test game building capabilities of Stencyl platform, which as far as I know are quite limiting. Yet they tried their best to make another Slender horror adventure. As we all know Slender-man attracts a lot of attention, and kids are always eager to click and find out what's next coming from the dark twisted mind of this shadowy creature.

This time, disappointment. No flashlights, no going outs into deep woods, nor getting creeped out from behind by a monster. Nothing. Actually when I played it first time, I felt cheated in a way. Slender games used to deliver tension and unpleasant tingles, not jogging with obstacles. So, if you hate it, as much as I do, don't be shy, just shout it out in the comments box below.

What you do instead is run, jump, double jump and role over, to avoid gully, pitfalls and all kinds of obstacles ahead. If you ever trip over, only once, everything will get instantly pixelated and it all fades out in a blurry distance, because that would mean that Slendey to catched up with you. The game than sets you back to start and you play the same thing over again.
