    There are no players to play online. The controls are frustrating. There are really better games.

    A totally rubbish multi-player game! Both me an my wife found this a frustrating game where you never really get very far. AVOID! 1 star for supporting 8 players.

    It's not a bad game not at all. The single player campaign is pretty fun for the first hour but the multiplayer is lacking an actual fanbase that still plays. I waited 10 minutes for a match to load and gave up after I wasn't connected. I tried again another time during the day when I assumed it'd be busiest and found myself waiting another 15 minutes only to give up yet again. Really hopeIt's not a bad game not at all.

Really hope to play online against even one other person just for the competitive aspect of it. Haven't tried co-op yet. Expand

    The game interested me with the ability to play simultaneously with eight players. However, when I got acquainted with the game, none of my friends wanted to play it. the levels are unbearably difficult for all my friends.
    The game has no content for the average player. 80% of game zones - will start to annoy you after 2 minutes of playing. The game has very little content, and everything

    The game has no content for the average player. 80% of game zones - will start to annoy you after 2 minutes of playing. The game has very little content, and everything is drawn out so that you will try to go through one map hundreds and thousands of times, dying again and again. Not only that, most of the content is closed and unlocked only when playing online. And the online game is dead. For a year of playing, I have never been able to find partners in the game online. And, accordingly - I will not see unlockable content. At the same time, such a game that is poorly filled with content has a purchasable add-on. This is completely absurd.

    Runbow is a frantic platformer with a twist. With tons of funny multiplayer modes, it is a very funny party-like experience, even though its single player counterpart is a little pale in comparison.

    That’s a small grievance against what is otherwise a very fun, solid game. Runbow manages to stand out by virtue of its unique color-changing hook, fun presentation, and sound gameplay. Throw in lots of characters to choose from, including many familiar Nindie favorites, and the game’s lure is undeniable.

    Runbow is back to a Nintendo console and this edition for the Nintendo Switch brings a series of welcome elements, such as a simple but addictive gameplay, additional downloadable content, plenty of characters from the indie games world and online capabilities. While it feels too short when played on single player, Runbow is a very welcome arrival to the Switch catalogue.
