Oh my god, that was awful. I bought this on impulse during the Steam sale because I thought the graphical style looked pretty cool. It advertises itself as an endless runner with an Ikaruga color-switching mechanic. I thought, what could go wrong? The controls. The physics. The visuals. It was a nightmare. For starters, this game has absolutely no edge...

Spirit Run is an endless runner a bit like Temple Run but from the side on viewpoint. It's not too bad a game, I could recommend it if you like games like Temple Run, but really just nothing that great about it. Graphics are very basic stuff, gameplay can get a bit frustrating with deaths that couldn't really be avoided. Its just about OK, but not good...
Spirit Run - Fire vs. Ice feels like a straight mobile port. There is no exit button, no volume mixer, and no in-game keybind options. It's possible to rebind the keys with the Unity launcher but there is still limited controller support. Steam overlay reports the frame-rate as 60fps but it's obviously lower. Either a lower frame-rate has been hard-coded...
This is a very funny game to play against your friends. I would recommend to play it on the couch and take turns. The price is a bit high, but as long as it's on sale you can safely buy it. It can be frustrating when a multiplier is misplaced, and you can't easily reach it. As for the controller support: When you are prompted to select the game configuration,...

If anyone who made this game sees this I'd...
