Rayman Fiesta Run: Running was never so much of fun

,
I am back with another running game, yet it is not a typical running game but a class apart and immensely entertaining. Rayman Fiesta Run, presented by one of my favorite game developer Ubisoft, is the second game in the Rayman series on Android, the first being Rayman Jungle Run.

Rayman Fiesta Run is a fun filled and entertaining game and you do not come across such games that often. Everything from the game play, to the character, the overall graphics and the background music all have a different feel and energy, and it looks stunning on a tablet device.


The game itself is a fast paced side scrolling running game with lots of elements to keep you glued and hooked.

From the launch screen, you can choose to start the game along with, visiting the gallery, accessing the settings etc. Though, there is nothing much to do in the settings menu. The default character is the legendary Rayman which is the most entertaining but, you can also choose other characters also if they are unlocked. 

Upon choosing the Play option, you can select the level you want to play from world map. You have the option to play an already played level again.

Game Plot
The game plot is simple, you as Rayman need to keep running by avoiding or jumping over the obstacles and hitting the ugly creatures which are trying to bust you.

The game controls are easy, the screen is divided in to two vertical parts, the left side of screen has control for jump and the right side has control for action like punching or kicking. The Rayman character has the ability to throw his fists so it can attack an enemy from a distance.


At the start of the game level, few gadgets are available which can be picked by paying a price. These gadgets give more power to Rayman like extra life or flying punches etc. Though, you can complete a level without these gadgets as well.

Once you start running there is no stopping, so you need to be very careful as at every point there are challenges waiting for you. Rayman can run, jump, swim, break walls and also can fly using its ears (which is very funny), make good use of all the abilities to clear the level. In the game, you also need to collect lums (some sort of firefly) flying all over the places and coins. In a level you can collect up to 100 lums and 4 coins.

If you finish the level by cross all the hurdles without getting hurt and collecting all the lums and the coins, this is treated as a perfect score of 100/100 and you are awarded with a crown. That's not all, this also unlocks a more difficult version of the same level.
