TouchGen - Today we got the first hands-on with Mos Speedrun, a new 8-bit ‘retro-style’ platformer from Physmo.
This 8-bit style is becoming pretty fashionable of late, as it seems that while we do like our state of the art 3D graphics, we also like to be reminded of simpler times. Games such as Canabalt, and more recently the excellent League of Evil, have proved this. Now Mos Speedrun is here for more yesteryear goodness.

Android Rundown: Mos Speedrun is a unique little game; it takes the short bursts of gamepaly provided by endless runners and it replaces it with set levels, designed to be speedrun through. This uniqueness is what makes it an interesting platformer for mobile gamers to check out.
On the PC there is a regular influx of indie titles available on Steam and other distribution services. One key feature of them seems to be retro 8 bit graphics, as seen in games like the Bit.Trip series. One recent indie title that is continuing the graphical trend is Mos Speedrun.
