Sky Dancer 

Sometimes video games can help us live out our biggest fantasies, like winning the World Cup, defeating a dragon, or leaping off cliffs while collecting coins and dodging enormous rocks.

If the last one sounds like your deal, then auto-runner Sky Dancer is almost definitely up your street, with coins, leaps, and unfortunate deaths aplenty.

It's a strangely calming game with gorgeous graphics and a compelling twist on the auto-running system, but one that won't hold your interest for very long.

 the minimalist art style for this game reminds one of the great Monument Valley. However, instead of trying to solve puzzles, the main objective of the “Sky Dancer” is to run, jump and fall from floating platforms, and hope that another one pops up to land on so you can keep running to the next floating platform. As you might expect, the controls are simple. You keep running automatically, with tapping on the left of the screen making your character move left, and tapping on the right to move to the right. Tapping on both sides at the same time causes the character to jump.

Endless runner-style games aren’t a novelty, but the poetically named Sky Dancer manages to distinguish itself from the slew of Temple Run alternatives out there.

Not only does Sky Dancer provide gamers with challenging gameplay, but it also creates a unique atmosphere thanks to its beautiful graphics and immersive music. Did I get your attention? Keep reading below to find out more.

Sky Dancer sees you running straight forward and off the ends of cliffs into an endless abyss below, steering your character onto floating rocks to keep them alive.

You move left and right by tapping and hold the respective side of the screen, and you can jump by tapping both sides of the screen at the same time.

The controls on foot will be instantly familiar to anyone who's played a runner before, and they're wonderfully responsive, meaning you're unlikely to crash into anything unless you've just not timed yourself right.
If you’ve been playing Temple Run before, you’ll have no problem navigating the word of Sky Dancer. At first you play a character called Tharbadis, a martial arts experts of sorts, whose objective is to jump down platform, avoid obstacles and collect as many coins as possible.

There are actually 10 different Sky Dancers characters available and more will be coming with future updates. However, you’ll need to collect orbs of light and coins to unlock additional characters.
Things get trickier in the air, where your movement is a little more sensitive to your touch and you'll be course-correcting almost constantly to make sure you survive.

It's not particularly difficult, but if you're trying to land in the centre of a platform to earn the coveted Perfect Landing bonus points, it can be a little frustrating.

Zen dancing

And that's all there is to it. You run, gather coins, occasionally pick up collectibles, jump from platform to platform, and try not to die.

What makes this so calming is the sparse environment you do all this in, which doesn't bombard your senses, but instead gives you all the information you need in muted colours and smooth models.

The only issue with this is that the draw distance can be a little short – sometimes as you're falling through the thick haze below you'll miss the flash of a collectible, or totally misjudge how close the next platform is.
It's also a bit light on things to do. There's objectives to complete, with point multipliers awarded for every set you complete, and you can unlock new runners with the coins you collect in the game.

But you'll see the same few rotations of the game's platforms again and again in quick succession, and eventually the repetition will settle in and you'll become uninterested in carrying on to unlock later objectives.

Dancing the night away

Overall, Sky Dancer is a charming, beautiful game that will relax you and cause mini heart attacks in equal measure with its gentle environments punctuated with enormous drops.

It won't hold your attention for long, but it has enough going on that the initial moments will have you hooked and unable to stop playing.

Sky Dancer isn't hugely original or clever, but it offers a good twist on the auto-runner formula and is definitely worth a look if you're a fan of the genre.


Game controls are quite simple. You keep running automatically and tapping on both sides of the display will make your character jump over an obstacle or from one platform to another. Tap left or right to control the direction of your character. In theory it sounds quite simple, but in reality it proves quite challenging.
Jump across hazardous cliffs, flying islands, large boulders; dive in the air and land like a superhero as you try to beat the endless abyss. How far can you run, Dancer?!
