The idea is simple. Get as far as possible. You tap the rear of frontscreen to hover up, based on those helicopter flash games. Along the way you must dodge missiles, avoid zappers, gather coins, high five scientists and succeed in a variety of seemingly infinite missions like 'finish the game inbetween 300 and 400 meters' and 'rub your head against the roof for 500 meters'.
It's an awesome timewaster :hyper

Can you really not use buttons on the Vita version ???

I've seen people say that, but it can't really be true can it?

It's not even the best 'endless runner' game that came out last year.


Ski Safari is.

Has anyone tried the PS3 version? Does the fact that it uses a controller take away the charm of it?

It's a one button game.  I can only assume the PS3 version replaces touching the screen with pressing a button.

Was it really only a year since they released this?  Seems like Jetpack Joyride has been around a lot longer.

And Toxic Adam is right.  Ski Safari is much better.
