I was just browsing on Google Play and saw a new game called "Lava Endless Parkour". It's free, has no in-app purchases, and has no ads. My first reaction was "What the hell?" I downloaded and played it for two hours, and it was really fun.
The background of this game is quite interesting. When you wake up, the whole world is filled with lava, the streets are all flooded, and you are left alone to find a foothold to escape. There is no routine like "relying on krypton for a knife and equipment at the beginning", it depends purely on your reaction and route planning to survive. The parkour gameplay is not particularly innovative, but it feels good. Jumping, sliding, and double jumping are very easy to use, and the non-linear route design is very good. You can go around from the left, drill from the right, and even climb over the roof of the same level. Every time you run, it feels fresh.
The most outrageous thing is that this game actually supports Bluetooth controllers! I directly connected the Xbox controller and ran around on the sofa all afternoon. The phone did not get hot and was very smooth. There are quite a lot of customizable appearances. You can change your clothes, hats, and skateboards. They are all made by the game. There is no time limit to draw cards to force you to spend money.
Although it says "multiplayer game", you can actually play it completely as a single player. There are only rankings and online ghost racing. There is no forced team formation or social interaction. For players like us who hate being forced to add friends and join the gang, it is a breath of fresh air.
The only drawback: The name of the developer "Taoteng Interactive Technology" looks like a copycat factory riding on Tencent's popularity, but the game itself is indeed clean. Maybe they will run away if they can't make any money, so they can come down and have some fun while they are still alive. Buy for 0 yuan, you won't suffer any loss or be deceived. It's 10,000 times better than some card-drawing mobile games labeled as “conscience”. 🔥
