What players say
Players describe Nightrunner as a minimalist arcade game akin to Pac-Man in space, where you dodge enemies on neon-lit streets. They praise its simple controls, addictive high-score chase, and relaxing pace suited for playing with music. A few note the lack of settings and a frustrating tutorial, and one negative review says the developer's previous game was better.
