Gamelion Announce I Must Run Is Coming To Playstation Minis From 15th December

Gamelion have announced they are bringing I Must Run to Playstation Minis. The controls to I Must Run are very simple, you run, jump, and punch. the trailer shows the game is very similar to Canabalt, with the main difference being the amount of different levels and a punch Mechanic. There is more to the game than just that though as the game does have a story.
