Smoke Fury Ru
This game is so much more. Like, yeah, you run, and you jump, but that's not the point at all. It's not about how far you go, it's about *how* you go. The main character, Ru, can turn into smoke, right? And that's not just for avoiding stuff. The first time I played, I thought I had to jump over this big wall, right? But then I accidentally held down the button a bit longer and Ru just *phased* through it like it wasn't even there. My jaw literally dropped. It's like a puzzle game disguised as a runner.
And the sound! When Ru shifts into smoke, there's this really satisfying *whoosh* and a tiny shimmer, like, you can almost *feel* the air getting displaced. I kept playing way longer than I meant to, just trying to figure out how to use the smoke form to solve these weird environmental things. There was this one part where I had to turn into smoke to get through a tiny crack, then immediately burst out of it to hit a switch that made a platform appear. It's so clever! I was like, "Oh my god, I get it now!"
I don't usually like these kind of games, but this one is different. It's not just mindless running. It makes you feel smart when you figure out a tricky sequence. I even told my cousin Leo about it already. Honestly, your brain kinda starts thinking in smoke patterns after a while. You should totally try it. It's really, really fun. You'll see what I mean.
