Sonic Runners is a level-based auto runner featuring classic 2D Sonic gameplay.

There's a plot which involves Sonic and co. rescuing animals from Doctor Eggman, who's plotting to do nasty things to them.

You need to save the animals, as well as grabbing rings, crystals, and power-ups.

You tap to jump and use your power-ups. These include absorbing all nearby pickups, leaping out of the earth as a drill, or staying airborne as a giant, purple planet.

It's a lot of fun and exactly how 2D Sonic gameplay should play and feel on mobile.

It's just a shame that it's a free to play endless runner rather than a fully-fledged Sonic game.

Sonic Runners is a lot of fast, addictive, tappy fun but it kind of feels like a missed opportunity
