Pocket Gamer: While it’s far from being a revolution, Madcoaster is a very well-made entry in an increasingly stagnant genre.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): We have to give the developers at CGMatic credit for trying something new. Faced with a competitive running genre filled with notable hits, including Canabalt, the team partnered with Chillingo to put a new spin on the popular formula, exchanging escaped convicts and guys with plasma swords for, of all things, a roller coaster. In Madcoaster, players guide a five-car scream machine across broken tracks and through loops to see how far they can travel. Suffice to say, we loved it.
GodisaGeek: "I honestly can’t believe how quickly this year is going, it’s another Monday already! It’ll soon be Christmas all over again. Shocking! Well, this week we’ve got four more games for your gaming pleasure. The first is Diggin’ Dogs, a strange little game the gives the player the task of digging through the earth to get some golden boots for the three dogs. Yeah, odd.
Secondly there’s Time of Heroes, an RTS game with RPG elements from the guys at Smuttlewerk Interactive. Certainly something to check out if you’re a fan of the genres. Next up is Mad Coaster, one of those crazy, addictive “run-left-to-right” games that will keep you up at night. Last up is Don’t Run With A Plasma Sword, which is another “run-left-to-right” game that…”borrows” from a lot of familiar concepts. Play it, you’ll see what I mean."
