The game opens up without any premise with some average-quality loud music and in full-screen, so be aware.
If you click on play, which is by the way the only thing you can do apart from muting the music, you'll be instantly thrown into this top-down endless runner.
No instructions, no tutorials, nothing.
You'll play as a standard anime girl sprite with her usual schoolgirl uniform and..
Nothing else.
Once you understand that you can't do anything besides running left or right, you'll have completed the game.
Which consists of three vertical lanes and the only obstacles, never jumpable but only avoidable, are.. something like chairs I don't know even the English name of those things, benchs maybe, that look like gym training logs.. I don't even want to open my vocabulary.
The hitboxes are A TOTAL MESS.
You will hit those logs/benches/whatever they are even if you're 3kms far from them.
And touching them (even if they're far from you and you can clearly see into the frozen graphics you get after you die) means instant death.
Since the game has nothing different apart from these benches, you'll always start from the beginning.
And this is all.
The fact that the game is named simply "arunner" says a lot about how many minutes the developers have put into this thing. Don't play it.

The worst endless runner I’ve ever played. Ever.
In Yuzi Lims: anime runner you play as an anime girl with a hit box that is really bad and too big, leading to frequent failures initially. To get all achievements, you need to get 50,000 points, which is quite a chore to do. The number goes up ever so slowly as you get further, and the main things to boost it are coins (+100) and the spacebar prompt (+500). It takes 10-15 minutes to actually get a run this long, not to mention being plagued by garbage RNG sometimes where you have to be nearly pixel perfect or you’re done for.
Overall an easy hundo but be warned.

Awful Game, pain to get the achievements because of the terrible hitboxes.

Do not buy.

This is a inf runner with no redeeming value. if this was a free web game (and it very well could be) i wouldn't play it.

the game consists of running forward and the player moved Yuzi right or left to avoid barriers and grab coins. you can also hit space when the icon comes up on the bottom for some more points. 1 level, no ending and you've seen everything in the game the sec it starts.

This is the 4th review of the Steam Redlight series, a series where I purposely seek out negatively or controversially rated games on Steam to see if they're as bad as the Internet says they are. It's accompanied by a video review that can be found here.

In summary, I can’t recommend this game, while I’d expect to be tolerant given that it’s a 99 cent game, the gameplay is just too poorly implemented to have much semblance of enjoyment, in addition to the game not working in resolutions higher than 1080p.
My first thought going into this was “Who’s Yuzi Lim? And why is she now an anime runner?” That question wasn’t answered. My second question is “Why is the anime runner we play as different from the person on the Steam banner?” I looked to the game for answers for naught.

My tertiary question was “What’s the point of this game?” and through some elementary-grade critical thinking, I found the answer: to score 50,000 points. Why that arbitrary number? Because all 55 achievements can be had if you get to 50,000 points.

Now your next line will be “So what’s the gameplay like?” well, you press the left arrow key to move left and the right arrow key to move right with the intent of dodging oncoming hurdles. You occasionally collect coins for 250 points, and when prompted, press the space bar to collect 500 points. It seems like you generate one point every tenth of a second. My point values may be slightly off, but they’re mostly accurate.

Now I have to apologize because I just went ahead and spoiled everything, because that third paragraph contains 100% of the gameplay. There is nothing else to be discovered — the game is an endless runner. Since there’s nothing else to talk about, let’s move on to what’s good and maybe not-so-good.
The game gives you the ability to mute its infinitely looping song. This is mentionable mostly because you may be surprised at how many lowly-rated games where this is not a matter-of-fact.

This game also only takes up about 12 megabytes, which once you start playing it, you’ll realize why. I do wonder what takes up the most amount of that space out of that 12, just out of curiosity. Fun thing to entertain.

Lastly, this game gives you about 55 achievements for roughly an hour’s worth of work. Maybe more, maybe less, depending on how fast you pick up the machinations of this game. Whether or not that’s valuable to you is on you.

Now onto the less-than-great things.
The game doesn’t seem to successfully launch at anything higher than 1080p. Now, this isn’t necessarily the end of the world, it just seems like a bug, one that I could see some people getting hit by, not being able to play the game they hopefully wanted, and then refunding it. Once I downsized my resolution from 1440p to 1080p, the game worked fine.

The hit boxes are actually really not that great; you see this in a couple of other reviews so I’m just a drop in the bucket with this one. More than once will you run into a hurdle that doesn’t actually collide with your model, especially anything near the runner’s head. I’m kind of sold on the idea of your character’s hit box being one big rectangle.

Lastly, while a minor point, this game is pretty bland. The environment doesn’t change, the song loops (and not even that well), the gameplay is incredibly shallow (why the hell do we press space bar to do anything?), and the character you're playing has roughly 8 actual frames of animation in total. People may think this is a moot point for 99 cents, but there are a pretty decent amount of free endless runner games online that generally just seem to be of higher quality.

Alright, that’s the end. This game has some value if you dig the exchange rate of 55 achievements equaling 99 cents for roughly an hour of your time, but there’s probably a more enjoyable deal out there. But overall, the hit box reason alone is enough to make this game frustrating to the point where you may only end up with 54 of your desired 55 achievements.

Oh, and I can’t determine if this is a prequel to the game Yuzi Lims: hentai or not. Hoping the dev can expand on that universe a little more in time.

Yuzi Lims is an unparalleled masterpiece for the genre.
This Dark Souls-esque game may seem like a direct rip off from Dark Souls, however, you'd be wrong in saying so. The game immediately introduces you to the main protagonist - Yuzi Lims, who appears to be an average highschooler in Japan. You'd be incorrect in saying so. Once you click the play button, Yuzi starts running. This is clearly representative of the school shootings that are going on in the world - especially in places such as in The United States of America, Pakistan, Brazil or most importantly: Japan. Yuzi clearly wants to show that she is attempting to get away from all of these indiscriminate atrocities, and wants to let the world know she is not fine with the situation. After multiple thousands of metres ran by Yuzi, she keeps on going clearly implying that she is an world class athlete who has an infinite endurance representing how determined she is to resolve the situation.
The gameplay of this game is multifaceted. As Yuzi Lims runs, she must avoid these barricades (explicitly symbolism for the hardships faced by school kids, or possibly even her own hardships) that obstruct her path, dodging these allows her to keep running but if she does end up colliding with the barricades, she stumbles - this could possibly represent the downfall of other students such as those who end up doing the shootings and her, as an average highschooler, also being able to go down the same path. Additionally, as Lims continues to run and dodge past the barricades, she can interact with the spacebar in order to gain more "points" - possibly representing marks in class or overall happiness in life - equalling 600 for each push of the spacebar. She can also pick up coins which also give points - probably signifying that money in life also equals happiness.
Overall, the game evokes a level of sympathy for those currently suffering in highschool and how people like Yuzi Lims stand up against it. The game's story is, even though simplistic, extremely riveting to the core and finally, the gameplay is in fact superior to a regular Souls game, clearly making this the successor to Dark Souls 3.

Just running and running.

Boring and uninteresting. Despite the last update, 50k high score is still way to high for an acceptable 100% completion. I mean, this is not the type of game you want to play for long given its limited loop.

Your eyes just hurt as the same background colors keep rolling in front of you. The space bar mechanic is stupid: your hands will hurt as well given the tiny moves you need to make in order to avoid obstacles.

I created a Foil Badge for this, thanks Steam for promoting utter trash with your Coupons.

Why are you even thinking about this? What's wrong with you?
