    It's amazing how something so simple can be so engaging. The contrasting color of the environment simulating the alternation of Day and Night, makes it much like a never-ending running game with constant change. Kudos to Google for this little masterpiece!

    I've been playing this since 2014! Still love jumping over those cacti. It's a great way to kill time when the wifi is down. BTW, do you know that some said it would take 17 million years to complete the game?
