One of the most enjoyable endless runners out there right now is Run Sackboy! Run! featuring the iconic character from the My Little Planet series of games. Guide your character to safety, avoiding obstacles and enemies – as well as the gaping maw of the massive Negativitron. Run for as long as you can and collect bubbles as you go. Here’s our guide on how you can make each run count.
Gameplay
Run Sackboy! Run is an endless running game where in players control Sackboy as he runs, jumps, and avoid obstacles such as spikes and electrified walls and floors. There are also enemies that must be jumped over or avoided altogether. Pink goo, on the other hand, must be avoided as these would slow you down, and players must dash in order to avoid the Negativitron that will be constantly chasing you. Various costumes and powerups may be collected and acquired and missions can be completed in order to help you gain a higher score.
Currency
Bubbles are the game’s currency. Bubbles are collected during our runs, and they may also be purchased in exchange for real cash. Bubbles are used for powering up your shield within the game, and it is also used for purchasing items in the shop such as new costumes and upgrades to powerups. Bubbles may also be used to buy chests where in special tokens can be acquired. These tokens can then be used to buy the best costume within the game. Collect as many bubbles as you can as this would also help in increasing your final score.
Hearts
Hearts are special items which can be used should your run end. This will allow you to continue your run especially if you want to get a higher score or if you are nearing completion of a particular mission. Hearts are available as in-app purchases but certain achievements such as completing a sticker collection or buying special packs can also earn you this resource.
Multipliers
The distance that you have traveled, the number of bubbles that you have collected, and the number of enemies that you have destroyed will all count towards your score. However, the best way to improve your overall output is to increase your multiplier. Costumes may be purchased and, if these are equipped, will provide you with additional but temporary boosts to your multiplier.
Mutlipliers can also be improved permanently by completing missions. Some missions can be completed across multiple runs while others must be completed within a single run. Should a particular mission prove to be difficult, then players can spend bubbles to skip them altogether.
Powerups
The most basic powerup within the game is the shield, and this is a resource that regenerates as you collect more bubbles. Others, like the magnet or jetpack, can be collected as you run, and the duration that these items would last would depend on how many times you have upgraded them in the shop. There are also powerups that you can purchase at the beginning of each run, such as additional multipliers and the head start powerup. These two would only be applicable for the duration of the run and will require bubbles as well.
Stickers
Throughout the game, players will be able to collect different types of stickers. Completing all stickers within a theme will allow you to get different prizes such as hearts and even tokens. Thus, make it a point to collect them whenever they appear as these would allow you to get items that you would typically have to pay for.
Tips and Tricks
Whenever there are jump panels that appear, use them. These will give you access to areas that you usually would not be able to reach, and they typically also have more bubbles than usual. Always look at where you land, however, and get ready to jump whenever you see something that needs avoiding. Take note also that you can either have long or short jumps, depending on how long you tap and hold on to the screen. Knowing which type of jump to use will give you more control and give you higher chances of survival.
Don’t forget also to use the shield powerup whenever it becomes available. This will allow you to concentrate more on collecting bubbles rather than avoiding obstacles. Grab any powerups or stickers that might appear as these would also greatly help you in increasing your score in the long run. Of course, prioritize the completion of missions as well as to increase your multiplier.
As for spending bubbles, use this resource on maximizing your powerups first before buying costumes. Get as many bubbles as you can before trying to increase your multipliers through new skins. Once you have maxed out upgrades, use whatever bubbles you earn for costumes and maybe even chests so that you would be able to get the best costumes within the game.
