Run Sackboy! Run! sprints from mobile to PS Vita tomorrow, will be free to download

After throwing LittleBigPlanet icon Sackboy at iOS and Android last year in Run Sackboy! Run!, Sony is now letting him back into PlayStation territory.

That's just a strange way of saying that Run Sackboy! Run! will be out on PS Vita tomorrow.

In Sony's words, it's a free to play platform-survival game, but to everyone else it's an endless runner.

You control Sackboy as he auto-runs across treacherous areas. You've got to ensure he dodges, jumps, and defeats enemies at the right time to keep going.

If you don't, he'll get consumed by the Negativitron, which is always right behind him.

There are also Bubbles to collect that allow you to purchase special costumes, upgrades, and power-ups.

Run Sackboy! Run! isn't the best game that Sackboy has appeared in, but it did get a Bronze Award from us.

Our reviewer said that it how much you get out of it will vary, but it is "impressively handsome" despite being "a surprisingly limited example of its genre."

You'll be able to download Run Sackboy! Run! for free on the PlayStation Store tomorrow.
