In keeping with the current fashion, Fiesta Run does have an economy, letting you purchase power-up before levels, and unlock art and characters. Whether you're charging through the guts of a flame-belching lizard or legging it away from a giant mechanical skull on legs, every stage is a kaleidoscope of colour, wit, and wonder. Collect all the Lums and you'll unlock a harder version of the level, reworked with extra spikes and nasties.Īs with Jungle Run, the aim is not to reach the end of the level, but to max out that Lum counter, a challenge which never seems to get old. These skills not only allow you to complete new levels, they also let you revisit and perfect previous runs with a fresh skillset. As you venture further into the game, Rayman and his friends will reacquire their punching, flying, and wall-running abilities. One minute, you'll be guiding a miniature Rayman through a kitchen populated with fire-breathing lizard chefs the next, you'll be shepherding his frog-like buddy Globox through a cocktail-themed ice maze.Īll this eye candy is tied together with the same responsive tap-based control system which made the first game such a joy to play. To keep you on your toes, the game is continually throwing different environments and characters at you. These levels then appear on a world map, and can be tackled in any order. Instead of having you complete four sets of ten levels like in Jungle Run, Fiesta Run has a more relaxed approach to progression. As before, every element is rendered in the style of the console games, automatically making Fiesta Run one of the best looking games ever to grace a touchscreen. You'll bounce off slices of lime and sizzling choritzo. You'll smash pinatas and swing from dangling chillies. Every aspect of every level has a distinctly Latin flavour. You see, this sequel is all about food - specifically, Mexican food.

With its dazzling visuals, tight-as-a-drum controls, and endlessly inventive levels, it set the standard for auto-runners on iOS.įor the inevitable sequel, Rayman Fiesta Run, Ubisoft has pulled Rayman out of the trees and into the kitchen - or should that be 'la cocina'. Rayman Jungle Run is a hard act to follow.
