Our Expert Score

74/100

Run of Life is a quirky and surprisingly philosophical entry in the 'choice-based runner' genre. The core loop involves navigating a path while making decisions that either age your character up or down. Picking up healthy food or exercise equipment keeps you young, while 'luxury' traps or unhealthy habits age you toward a geriatric state. The goal is to reach the 'stairway to heaven' at the end of the level in the best possible shape.

While the graphics are standard for hyper-casual titles, the humor and the variety of life stages make it engaging. It’s a literal representation of life's trade-offs, and there's a certain satisfaction in successfully de-aging your character from a 90-year-old back to a fit 20-year-old just before the finish line. It doesn't have deep mechanical complexity, but for a quick burst of fun that makes you think about your daily choices, it’s a solid pick.

Good game, but with some problems
Wed May 17 2023 PearlFlowerPup

This is a good game, but, like the title says, it has some problems. I like playing this game, but it can become very annoying when almost every move you make it’s gonna get you an ad. Please fix this problem. Also, when you play it, you are almost always white and blonde. Not everybody is white and blonde. Please make more skins. I also have a question. Is playing a game gonna age you? No. So, why does it age you in the choice levels? So you’re saying playing this game will age you? No. Then why do games age you? Other than these problems, so far, there is really no problems. I would request to add a pet house. What I mean is you know how you get a choice to get a baby in some levels? Maybe you can do that expect with a pet choice. Walking your pet will de-age you, right? That’s all I gotta say. It’s a good game to pass your time with and I recommend downloading it. Thank you to Voodoo, and everyone who helped make this game! -PearlFlowerPup

THIS GAME IS CURSED DO NOT DOWNLOAD
Sun Apr 28 2024 buttime

So I downloaded this game a couple years ago for my kid. I got this game on my phone, so she obviously couldn’t play all the time because I work on my phone and I need it. During the times she did, I would ALWAYS have to take it away because she would always scream and cry when playing it. I had absolutely no idea what she was yelling about because I thought she loved this game and she would literally interrupt me from my meeting just because she wanted to play the game. One day, I was talking in a meeting, and all the sudden the door barges open. I didn’t need to get scared because I already knew it was her since she was always doing this and knew how to open locks if I had locked it. She has autism, so she’s smart. Then, she walked up to me, slapped me in the face, then took my phone and left. I was absolutely disgusted that she would do this because I know she has tantrums but she’s never been this bad. Again, she screamed and cried. But this time, when I tried to take it away, for about two seconds I felt a chill up my spine. I saw a demon on the screen with a wide open mouth. This terrified me big time so I deleted the game immediately.. or so I thought. I thought I finally got rid of it but the game just would not delete. I got super scared so I finally decided to get a new phone. I needed more research on my old one, so I looked into the game again . The same demon would stay there on the screen. This time, I noticed it was making really weird noises. Stuff like crying, moaning, and cracking. I finally figured out that I needed to turn it in.

Not a great game.

I thought it would have more to it. There’s too many ads, and you cant even get 2 genders to start with. You have to play more levels to get a man, and then you have to watch an ad. You don’t do anything with the money. You don’t buy anything. You cant. It doesn’t make you rich in-game. This game is repetitive, and you can barley make it to heaven. Like take this for an example: I’m 10 years old in-game. I cant make I to heaven because there’s so many steps. I’ve worked hard to gain youth. And once I finish it(the steps\the path), I get that worthless money you cant do anything with. The only times I’ve ever reached heaven I was like -20 months old. Do you know how hard that is?! I’ve only reached heaven 3 times. And just so you know, your age isn’t what makes you go to heaven, if you didn’t already know. It’s if you deserve to go there. And it says on your game, “How old will you live to be?” Well every single time, I love to be 80. You have to be YOUNGER than 80 to go to heaven. That’s kinda stupid. I only gave this 2 stars because I like your other life game. But that one is the same like this one. But it’s kinda worse. Ads, No choice of gender, it even logs me out of the app every single time I go on there. The adds are VERY inappropriate. WARNING TO PARENTS! Watching Netflix is what I do every single day,and I’m not unhealthy. Eating chocolate has scientific proof that it makes you happy and can help cure sickness better than normal medicine can. It’s not unhealthy to eat these things. Eating a normal hamburger isn’t going to make you die, or make you older. Having a junk food diet doesn’t make you old, it makes you slow and unhealthy. Please fix that. Make this game and your other one more enjoyable and entertaining to play.

Same thing over and over again. TERRIBLE GAME
Fri Mar 17 2023 coersoberaniio

So, I’ve played this game for a while and am DEEPLY disturbed that it’s basically the same thing over. It’s a fun game, but not really something you want to play over and over. I am a ten year old, and other kids/adults out there, this game is so not worth it. You basically just walk, go up some steps, sometimes get a new character and there is really nothing else to it. If I were you, just go and play some Roblox which is really fun y'all. DON’T PLAY THIS GAME. And, why I put five stars was because it would show up. And, when I first got it I would tap the app and it would show up and the screen went completely black. I had to delete and redownload it for it to actually work. SO ANNOYING. And then if you play for thirty minutes, you will have watched 200 ads. Come on! It’s a LOT of ads

Ok love it but here’s the thing
Tue Jul 05 2022 chanel❤️❤️❤️❤️

So ok I love it so much but when I try to stay young some times It will keep the same age and I was 10 on it there was like 5 good choices and believe me I chose those 5 good choices and I WAS STILL ten and another thing I was like trying to get the good people mover and I was free but it chose an ad I watched for like 30 seconds and it didn’t even let me do it and I got so irritated so I closed out of the game and 2hrs later I got back on and it started me over like the whole level so I deleted it and got it back today and it was working so well I hope this isn’t happening to anyone else but I hope you fix this so other people don’t complain and doesn’t have to many complaints but overall I love the game soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much please keep making more and no more glitches please but that is all I hope you keep working hard and keep making people happy 😊 bye for now❤️

Amazing But There Is A Few Glitches/ Annoying Things
Sat Jan 01 2022 aliviah 💋

For Me This App Is So Fun And Helps Me Consume My Time When I’m Waiting Or Just During The Day. I Love The Concept Of This Game And The Ads Don’t Pop Up At Random Times But At Reasonable Times! But There Are Some Glitches/Annoying Things. Some Of The Glitches/Annoying Things Are When Ever I Try To Spin Again At The End Sometimes It Randomly Freezes After I Watch The Ad And That Makes Me Close Out The App Then I Have To Start The Level Over. Another Thing Is That After I Have To Watch A Ad To Unlock A Character It Sometimes Does Not Work And Just Closes Out And I Don’t Get The Character, I Find This Irritating. I Don’t Know If This Only Happens To Me Or Not But If It’s A Real Problem Can You Attempt To Fix These Please? Other Than The Flaws About This App I Love The Game!

Not What I Expected
Mon Nov 28 2022 oh, ogey

This game isn’t horrible, but it has SO MANY ADS. Like, you don’t want to die? AD! You go home for a baby? AD! You get to sit on the bench at the end? AD!! 🤬 WASTE of time, good thing you don’t waste money on this. And then there are GLITCHES! One moment, I’m six months old, the next, my game is stuck. YET THE ADS ON THE BOTTOM MOVE! I am sorry but SOMEBODY needs to fix this because at this point I am going to delete the app. It’s not bad, but the glitches and ads are ridiculous and stupid. If somebody doesn’t fix it after all of these complaints, you’re living with lies. And the ads are completely inappropriate, one was of a shirtless man and a woman. She had to run towards him choosing sleep or a pillow with hearts, if it chose all the pillows it wears a BIKINI! I’m sorry but those ads! And then the whole baby thing!! SOMEBODY SEE THIS. Because this is not okay.
