Populus Run: Burgers, Cupcakes, Donuts Replace Subway Surfers!

Populus Run, a captivating new game, has transitioned from an Apple Arcade exclusive, available since January 2021, to a broader release on both Android and iOS platforms. If you've already experienced the thrill on iOS, you're in for a treat as it becomes available to a wider audience. The game may remind you of Fall Guys due to its vibrant visuals, but it's fundamentally an endless runner in the vein of Subway Surfers, with a unique twist: instead of dodging trains, you'll be evading gigantic fast food items!

Love Junk Food? Say Ready, Set, Yum!

In Populus Run, the oversized fast food items, from towering burgers and cupcakes to noodle wrappers, are more tantalizing than terrifying. Rather than controlling a single character, you'll manage a crowd of people. Your objective? Keep at least one of them alive while navigating through the scrumptious obstacles. The game adds a refreshing twist to the familiar endless runner genre, challenging you with formidable bosses like Macaron, Burger, and Donut on your way to the finish line.

For those craving an extra challenge, Populus Run offers a Hardcore mode. Collectors will be thrilled to hunt down secret characters scattered throughout the levels, including the intriguing giant, sentient strawberry.
