Glyph vs Super Mario Run
Glyph
Glyph is a marble-based platformer designed to specifically delight speedrunners. The game puts you into the little legs of a scarab as it rolls across various increasingly challenging obstacle courses, collecting keys, coins, and artifacts along the way. As you unlock new sections of the ancient temple and complete more levels, you’ll eventually reveal the story behind the desert world you find yourself in, and why the sand is like lava (will kill you when touched) here.Glyph is one of those indie games that will definitely surprise you. The controls feel smooth and responsive, a crucial factor in platformers that sometimes require precision jumping, and the level designs are flat-out fantastic. Personally, I’ve had some absolute joy, and frustration, playing this game so far, and similar to Distance, I’m sure that the sense of accomplishment at the very end, once I’ve managed to complete every level, will be truly unbeatable.
Super Mario Run
Super Mario Run is a mobile 2D platform-based arcade game created by Nintendo. The game puts you into Mario's shoes once again but this time, due to auto-running, you won't have full control over Mario himself. That said, you can still make him jump over obstacles, collect coins and mushrooms, jump on enemies, as well as perform cool wall jumps. Thankfully, as the game's speed doesn't increase as you play since the game can be rather complex and getting accurate jumps is of the utmost importance, especially if you aim to get the highest score.The game even has a small castle-building and decorating aspect when you're not out adventuring. There is also the Rush mode where you can attemtp to beat other players’ high scores in the fastest time possible.
If you're a huge fan of everything Mario, Super Mario Run is definitely the game for you. But even if you're not, this game is an incredibly well-made platformer that brings this successful franchise to the mobile market for free. The game is worth your time, that's for sure!
