I love minions. I think they’re really cute and they were probably the only reason why I liked the 2 Despicable Me movies anyway. They always come up with these really lame movies with otherwise cheesy story lines that make me cringe but more than make up for it with a cute mascot.
And with every successful film series you will have a game adaptation.
Introducing Despicable Me: Minion Rush.
In true Gameloft fashion, the game is simple and to the point. No obsessing over minute details but straight, pure action.
The game plays similar to Temple Run, running along paths dodging objects and collecting bonuses. But instead of using purely the accelerometer, the game has players swipe left or right for the most part. In mini bonus stage, accelerometer tilting comes into play for a little more variety.
There are even boss stages which really surprises me since this is a free runner game.
I would suppose the game plays on the cuteness factor of minions that made the whole franchise such a success. That said, there were really adorable sound effects that left me spazzing throughout.
A free app, I don’t see why this should not be added to your arsenal of games.
