If you're an Android user, get ready for a delightful surprise with the arrival of Populus Run, a game that's been an Apple Arcade exclusive since January 2021. Now, it's breaking free from exclusivity and is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
You might catch a whiff of Fall Guys in its visuals, but Populus Run is more akin to an endless runner like Subway Surfers—with a deliciously quirky twist. Instead of dodging trains, you'll be navigating through a world filled with giant fast food items!
Love Junk Food? Say Ready, Set, Yum!
In Populus Run, the oversized fast food items like massive burgers, cupcakes, and noodle rappers are more appetizing than intimidating. But here's the catch: you're not just controlling a single character; you're leading a whole crowd of people! Your mission? Keep at least one of them alive as you dodge these colossal food obstacles. It's a fun and refreshing twist on the endless runner genre. Along the way, you'll face off against quirky bosses like Macaron, Burger, and Donut.
For those seeking an extra challenge, Populus Run offers a Hardcore mode. And if you're into collecting, you can search for secret characters scattered throughout the levels, such as the giant, sentient strawberry.
