Pitfall for iOS

Pitfall challenges you to guide your runner through the jungle, all the while avoiding obstacles and collecting as much treasure as you can. You'll find the hours melting away as you lose yourself in this challenging and invigorating endless running game.

Pros

Variation: This game takes the basic endless running game and adds a few twists of its own. For instance, there are plenty of different obstacles to overcome and landscapes to run through. Plus, your perspective changes at different points, which adds an extra layer of challenge to the task of guiding your character safely.

Fast-paced: Everything comes at you quickly in this game, even from the beginning. Luckily your controls are sensitive and responsive enough to let you maneuver where you need to go. And as you develop your reflexes, the obstacles start coming faster and more frequently, so there's never a dull moment in this adventure.

Cons

High prices: Packages of diamonds available as in-app purchases for this game are pretty pricey, with package options ranging from a Handful for $1.99 to an Overflowing Cartful for $99.99. While these purchases aren't necessary to allow you to keep playing, you probably won't be able to advance very quickly without spending some money.

Bottom Line

Pitfall is based on a classic runner game, and it's been adapted for iOS impressively. The app is free to download and play, and especially if you're already a fan of this type of game, you'll quickly find yourself hooked. But you don't need experience with any type of game in particular to enjoy this app, and the mechanics are easy enough that even novice users will catch on quickly.
