Infinity Runner
An infinite runner game with a slightly different take on the genre and unlike most, a storyline. Not a mould breaker, but this budget title is different enough to make it worth checking out.

The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it underdeveloped and lacking meaningful engagement. While some appreciate the intriguing premise of a werewolf in space, the narrative is criticized for being sparse, incomplete, and ultimately unsatisfying, often leaving players with unanswered questions and a "to be continued" ending. Overall, the gameplay is seen as more enjoyable than the story itself, which detracts from the overall experience.
“The storyline, in my opinion, was really interesting even though there's not a ton of story to it and overall - I just really enjoy playing this title.”
“The story mode is engaging and introduces you to the game mechanics early on then blows you away with the whole idea of werewolves in space and some infuriatingly addictive levels to navigate through.”
“Fun game with what I think is a pretty intriguing storyline!”
“The story is really bad.”
“(The whole story is you trying to escape a spaceship while a telepathic woman, who is helping you escape, keeps telling you she will explain everything - eventually. She never does. You escape the ship, she tells you she will explain everything... to be continued! Yep, you get that kind of ending. But it is obvious that this game is never going to be continued.)”
“The story had potential but its lack of meaningful development had me losing interest quickly.”

70%Infinity Runner Review
All of the underlying wrongness of Infinity Runner can probably be traced back to Wales Interactive overstretching itself. The game was almost definitely envisioned as something more open and complete, until a lack of money or time forced the developer to squeeze its ideas into the shell of an endless runner. The rigidity of the genre ruins almost every promising aspect of the game - it defangs the antagonist, dilutes the plot to the point of irrelevance, and - most damning of all - makes the fact that the protagonist is a werewolf almost inconsequential. A great game exists somewhere in a previous version of Infinity Runner's design document, but the released product is so constricted and amateurish that it will only be remembered as the game that managed to screw up the concept of werewolves in space.
