GamePro: "In the tradition of 1980s platformers comes Mos Speedrun, a retro gem of a game starring an orange and black insect girl. Like its predecessors, Mos Speedrun requires the player to complete an obstacle-ridden level whilst collecting treasure. In addition to collecting coins, you can test your skills by claiming an elusive golden skull hidden in each level.
After beating a level you can also score another trophy by “speedrunning” it––essentially sprinting through at full speed without ever slowing down. The entire game is designed to encourage players to replay levels they’ve already beaten, and like retro titles of old, actually gets more fun the second time around."

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.
