Super Meat Boy’s chocolatey cousin hits iPhone in ChocoRun
Marathon bar
Similar to Super Meat Boy with its 2D side-scrolling setup, steep difficulty curve, and square-shaped protagonist, Alejandro Jimenez Vilarroya's ChocoRun has just raced onto iPhone.
And since ChocoRun is a 'guided platformer', players only need to concern themselves with precision timing and speed, using the one button available to them - jump.
The game features a retro soundtrack, though whether this will stop you throwing your iPhone against a wall in multiple death-induced aggravation is dubious.
If you like a proper challenge, then ChocoRun is available on the App Store for 59p / 99c / €0.79 now.
Check out the trailer below.
