Some sad news to pass on that due to low in app purchase sales, low activity in general and privacy laws that caused in game advetering to stop, that Sonic Runners, the F2P game made by Sonic Team, will stop working when the servers are closed on July 27th. As of today, all in app purchases have been pulled and it's no longer possible to buy red star rings. They can be used for the in game roulette up till game closure. Sonic runners was billed as a game that would be different than the more successful and non online dependent Sonic Dash. It had a story, it had side scrolling action and simple game controls. You could unlock different characters, with different abilitys and stages where they excel, and bundles that could be used to boost something in the game (a staple these days in most F2P games). Alas, the game fell victim to the politics of F2P games. SEGA tried to boost revenues by intentionally making the game harder with intentionall deaths. Though this was reversed, the damage was done and most had left the game. Hopefully SEGA has learned their lesson from this and will focus more on more traditional games that domt need required revenue boosts over its life cycle. It should be noted that Sonic Runners was a game that had gotten promoted by Apple at OEM time and enjoyed lots of popularity in its first few months cause of that. One of the tough things about mobile games these days is that there is too many games to select from and they are hard to discover. I have heard of many Devs that have had a hard time even getting noticed by App Store editors to get listed in promos and being visible in search results, all of which I feel needs to change to make the better games stand out among the play to win apps out there. |

That's too bad. It doesn't really affect me that much. I thought Sonic Jump was better. |

Yeah I never really played Sonic Runners too much unfortunately. The game's setup just never worked for me, similar to the reason why I don't play Sonic Jump Fever, the setup is just bad. Sonic Dash 2 is still my favorite mobile game however. =P |
