While there are always new releases trying to innovate, in the world of gaming, it seems as if almost everything has been done before. But just because something's been done once doesn't mean you can't tackle it again! As is the case with Pixel Runners: Time Shift, which is now available on Android and for pre-order on iPhone!

On the surface, this is your average endless runner, where you play as a pixelated figure running for their life from an encroaching wall of doom. Between them are various obstacles such as bizarre terrain, traps and monsters. Obviously, you need to jump and dodge them to get through unscathed.

But what's this? Well, you also have the ability to dodge seemingly inescapable obstacles with the use of time shifting. Yes, this is a parallel universe runner, where you need to mix in your regular dodging and dashing with leaping across time and space into alternate universes.
