Run Sheldon! is an endless runner with a theme: rabbits. Angry rabbits. The scornful bunnies have dog piled (no offense) on the poor turtle in an attempt to snatch his first place trophy. Sheldon, and by extension the player, have to make a break for it and try to put as much distance between themselves and the hares as possible. This is a single-tap runner through and through. There are obstacles and rogue bunnies to avoid, coins and power-ups to grab, and a number of varied environments to book it through.
There’s a surprising amount of variety to be found in Run Sheldon! despite its simple runner mechanics. As I’ve mentioned already there are a fair number of environments to behold, but there are also a bunch of different power-ups to mix things up. Some allow Sheldon to fly, others protect him from harm, but they all change up the formula quite effectively one they’re in play. I was also impressed with the enemy bunny variety. There aren’t necessarily a ton of them, but having to deal with running/jumping/tunneling rabbits really keeps players on their toes.
Run Sheldon! might not be pushing boundaries but it does provide a respectable amount of variety in an otherwise “me, too” genre. It’s good, clean running fun with a lighthearted story and theme to match. Just don’t expect another Canabalt.
