Talk about thinking outside the box.

“Launching Mr. Runner 2 was a major milestone for us as a small indie studio and the fan and critical reception meant a lot to us,” Ding Ye, Founder and Creative Director, Zing Games, explains. “We are now moving to tackle the biggest challenge every indie has to face – user acquisition. We have to do it in a smart, innovative, and cost effective way (we are an indie studio without a deep pocket), which means we have to think of methods that have not been tried before.”
The main character in Mr. Runner 2: The Masks awakens to find his face locked away behind a steel mask. Unable to remember who he is, the character must pursue an enigmatic figure through a weird and wonderful dream world populated by figments of his subconscious. In Mr. Runner 2: The Masks players must constantly keep moving forward. Obstacles can only be avoided by slowing down or speeding. This minimalist design makes the game easy to learn but players abilities will be pushed to the limit as hazards come fast and furious in later levels.
