Netflix has released a side-scrolling endless
running game featuring popular characters from its original shows. There is no
official name for the game, though the link reads 'Flix Arcade', while the page
title reads as 'Netflix Infinite Runner'.
In the game, you can choose from the likes of drug-lord Pablo Escobar
via Narcos, Marco Polo from his short-lived eponymous show, Orange
Is the New Black’s Piper Chapman, and Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things.
Once you have chosen your preferred character, it’s
quite simple beyond that. You use the spacebar – a double tap results in a
higher jump – to jump over obstacles and collect power-ups, which keep on
changing with different shows. For Escobar, the police are his big obstacle and
drug pills serve as power-ups. Eggo waffles, Eleven’s favourite thing in
Stranger Things, are naturally the power-up of choice for Wheeler, and Chapman
has to dodge handcuffs thrown at her by prison guard “Pornstache” Mendez.
There are some interesting Easter eggs thrown in as
well. If you’re playing from India, you can spot “सावधान” written in Hindi on the prison fence when you pick Chapman,
which is a nice way of doing (unnecessary yet funny) localisation. Expect it to
change depending on where you live. That’s not the case with all the characters
though.
