If you like games like Crash Bandicoot
The boulder levels in Crash Bandicoot are some of the most remembered in platformers: you run toward the screen while something huge chases you. Outrun the Boulder is built around exactly that. Fruit, crates, a spin move and a jungle path, with the danger always behind you.
It is a mobile chase, not a full platformer with worlds and bosses. That makes it quick: you are running from the first second, and a run is over in minutes.
How it compares to Temple Run
Temple Run is an endless runner with swipe turns. Outrun the Boulder gives you a joystick and buttons, so you steer, jump and slide more freely. It feels closer to a console platformer chase.
There are also no turns to swipe at the last second. The path bends, and you follow it.
Tips for staying ahead
Jump early. Hesitating in front of a crate is how the boulder catches up.
Spin into crates instead of jumping over them when you can. You keep speed and grab the fruit.
Watch the path ahead, not the boulder. The camera faces you, so obstacles come into view late. Keep your thumb near the jump button and react early.
