Trap Runner Out Now - With Big Box Version TBA

Trap Runner Out Now – With Big Box Version TBA

Trap Runner was one of the best Amiga 500 games of 2018, but until recently, only a party version (which, while very polished, was from September) was available. The final version is now out, and yes, it’s still free and just as brilliant.

So, what exactly is Trap Runner?

It’s a jump-and-run platformer with 50fps scrolling, multiple layers of parallax, and gameplay mechanics that put many commercial titles to shame. And for those curious about its creation, yes, it’s built using 68k assembler code.

With great graphics, a solid story, and a wealth of levels offering enough variation to satisfy most players, Trap Runner easily ranks among the best Amiga games of 2018.

The developer behind this game is no newcomer, either. Their previous Amiga title was released a few years ago and came with both a free download version and a full collector’s box. You can find our review of that game here.

The digital publisher is none other than Retroguru, a site now home to several great games. One of them, the multiplatform release Hermes, was reviewed here not long ago.

A full review of Trap Runner will have to wait until the boxed version is released, but yes, it’s coming later this year. Here’s a message from the publisher, APC-TCP:

Physical release information: Trap Runner will be published by APC & TCP Germany! To be notified when the boxed version is available, email Andreas at andreas(at)apc-tcp.de. He will send out updates, including details on tiny goodies that come with the release!

Be sure to send that email soon, as the boxed edition will be limited, and it could be a while before a second run happens.
