Features:
Rayman first leapt into our consciousnesses in 1995 when it was introduced onto the Playstation One, in addition to various other platforms. The character, with no arms or legs ( rather just a free flowing head, torso, hands and feet) has become a recognizable and popular gaming hero since that time, but only now has his world has found it’s way to Android.
Rayman here has to run, jump, climb, punch and fly his way through a series of jungle-themed levels, with eerie thorns in chase, spiky flora and fauna and all manner of pitfalls ahead of him. There are plenty of things to help him too, such as swinging vines and bouncy flowers which propel him around. As he progresses, he learns new skills to help him. These include his famous flying technique where a helicopter propeller helps him hover and fly around. Others include running up walls and punching obstacles out of the way.
Our protagonist starts off running and you just have to keep him out of trouble with tapping the screen and holding to fly. It’s unmistakably simple to play and lets you absorb what’s going on and those stunningly beautiful graphics. The team behind the original- Ubisoft- have continued the Rayman series with an absolute belter and Jungle Run is insanely addictive and virtually un-put-down-able.
I personally quite like platform games, but they’re certainly not my favourite genre. Rayman Jungle Run, however, is out of this world. It’s blending of utterly beautiful visuals, original and catchy sound, simple controls and incredibly addictive gameplay make it one of the best games available on the platform. I downloaded it on the day it was released (was it really just a couple of days ago?!) and have played it to death!
Levels get progressively trickier and some deft controlling is required to complete them. However, despite the fact you’ll probably die more times that you will ever remember, it’ll keep drawing you back time and time again. Rayman Jungle Run is brand new in the Google Play Store and if you haven’t had the chance yet, make sure you download it now! It’s a paid-for game but worth every last penny.

Fun Factor:
Rayman Jungle Run drips in fun. Every level is incredibly exciting- most notably when Rayman is flying through the air narrowly avoiding death- and the whole package is so immaculately designed, created and delivered.
Addictive:
As much so as oxygen! Whenever Rayman dies you just start again from the beginning of that level, so it’s easy to have ‘just one more go’. It’s also very immersive, so time just flies when you’re playing it.
Graphics:
For a scrolling 2D platformer, I would challenge anyone to find a game on Android right now that is a rich and beautiful as this. The colours, animation and gorgeous backgrounds are breathtaking.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
The music in the game is completely original and created with great care and attention. There is a distinct soundtrack of a few background tracks which are fun, catchy and compliment the game perfectly.
