Run Robert Run is side-scrolling fun

There's always been something mesmerizing about a simple side-scrolling video game. Remember Super Mario Brothers? It ate up a lot of hours that I'll never get back.

Run Robert Run is anew Android game that brings back the simple fun of running for your life on a horizontal plane. Your star is Robert, a pumpkin-headed scarecrow, and his crow sidekick who helps Robert sail from one plateau to the next.

Along his route, Robert gathers power-ups and coins and encounters garden beasts, like a fire-belching . . . zucchini? I'm not sure what that guy is made of but he's pretty scary.

Run Robert Run is a free download that's getting some good reviews in the Google Play Store. You can also find it in the Amazon App Store.
