Neon Runners: Craft & Dash hits global launch on Android

Neon Runners: Craft & Dash, a new side-scrolling platformer, is now available on Android. This globally launched game features adorable anime girls navigating challenging obstacle courses. A key feature is the ability to create and share custom courses with other players.

Anykraft, the developer, clearly draws inspiration from the successful Mario Maker formula. The game's core gameplay revolves around guiding these anime girls through perilous courses, including both pre-designed and user-generated levels. The map-sharing aspect, a popular feature in Mario Maker, is also present here.

However, a significant drawback, and a potential deterrent for many, is the game's integration of cryptocurrency. Players can earn sweepstakes tickets redeemable for rewards, including Bitcoin. While the developers highlight this feature, it's likely to be a turn-off for some players.

The "Craft" element of the title likely refers to the course creation functionality, possibly also serving an SEO purpose. Visually, the game boasts vibrant graphics and fast-paced action, promising an engaging experience.

The inclusion of cryptocurrency rewards and a friend referral program may be a deal-breaker for some, but those unfazed by these aspects may find the game enjoyable. For those seeking alternative mobile gaming options, our weekly roundup of the top five new mobile games is a great place to start.
