Sonic Runners

About

Sonic Runners is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Sonic Team, bringing classic Sonic characters to mobile devices. Released in 2015 for Android and iOS, it focuses on fast-paced running and jumping through levels filled with obstacles and enemies. The game was taken offline in 2016 when Sega shut down its servers, but it paved the way for a follow-up titled Sonic Runners Adventure. Known for its retro aesthetic and direct controls, the game appealed to fans looking for quick bursts of Sonic action. While it no longer runs on mobile stores, its brief lifespan earned it a spot in discussions about mobile platformers. The sequel later expanded on its formula, showing the original had a solid foundation despite its short run.
