    Running on Magic is a runner platformer that puts players in a challenging but light-hearted race against the Grim Reaper himself. Its whimsical presentation and procedurally generated levels keep things interesting for its somewhat short lifespan, just don’t expect it to be more than it claims to be.

    It’s clumsy to control and has some sloppy level generation that, in combination, makes you feel like you’re being sabotaged as you play. We’d love to say that we just need to get good, but we’ve got a sneaking suspicion that Running on Magic doesn’t want us to play it.
