Candy Run is a nice game from the brazilian startup nKey. Released to iPhones, he’s like “endless runner“, Where the player must help the little monster to escape with the sweets as far as he can. To do this, he must eliminate all the obstacles he encounters along the way.

The main differential of the game, when compared to others of the genre, is the fact that in it the user interacts with the scenario instead of the main character. The game encourages the person to challenge their friends to beat their records by integrating with the Game Center, Facebook or Twitter.

Another feature is “Candy Bar“, Which is filled as the player eliminates enemies. The closer to the monster the enemy is eliminated, the faster the bar will fill and reward the player with a random special item. See the demonstration video below:

THE Candy Run costs only $ 0.99 and includes an option to purchase coins within the game itself. The development time was approximately 6 months, and included an iOS developer, a 2D designer & artist and a project manager.
