Will all the unnecessary violence and insane critter sprinting of Fun Run lead to an addiction, or is this game another forgettable title? Fun Run is a two dimensional thriller designed by DirtyBit that puts you in the body of a furry critter competing for the chance to be crowned victor at the end of a 90 second sprint across a happy terrain. The game can be played in a solo-practice mode, or for social gamers in a full-on competitive mode.

When freshman Caroline Gordon steps on the field for pregame warm-ups for a varsity girls’ soccer match, she is accompanied by only three other freshmen teammates. She described making the team as a big accomplishment, as the varsity team is more competitive, has a higher quality of play, and has more intense practices. “I don’t want to make a mistake but even when I do I know my team will be supportive of me.” Caroline said. “I feel good to hopefully be a four year player, even though it’s way more serious.”
