Runner game set in the distant future
Adrift – Destination Not Found is a free adventure game made by indie developer Adrift. It’s a 2D side-scroller that mixes platforming with endless runner elements for its gameplay. Set in the future, players are space couriers delivering a package to a planet overrun by deadly creatures.
Just like Canabalt or Super Meat Boy, Adrift – Destination Not Found’s gameplay focuses more on speed and platforming rather than combat. Players will run through levels that are ridden with traps, flying creatures, and the deadly collective of invading under dwellers that are constantly chasing them.
Be a space courier
In Adrift – Destination Not Found, you play as an intergalactic delivery courier. Unfortunately, your client has had their entire planet blown to bits, and you are left with an unclaimed package and no payment. You have to make money somehow, so you decide to sell the goods to the highest bidder. You find one, but it’s located on a planet with a rather nasty and unwelcoming fleshy overgrowth.
The moment you arrive, tentacle-looking sublayers creatures will come at you. The gameplay is of the endless runner variety. You will jump over and slide through obstacles to avoid getting caught. What’s more, there are flying creatures that will get in your way, and together, they will slowly chip away at your health whenever you get in direct contact with them.
There will be designated green zones that will replenish some of your health as you pass through them. Also, you have a laser attack that you can fire off at enemies up front but comes with a cooldown between uses. The overall experience is fast-paced and engaging, but the gameplay does get repetitive after a while. It could use more game modes and variety for a much longer-lasting appeal.
100% guarantee or your money back
All in all, Adrift – Destination Not Found is a fun and engaging 2D platforming full of retro charm and quirky humor. The controls are easy to learn and the gameplay is simple to get into. If you’re looking for a title that you can play for quick bursts and play sessions, give this game a go and have a nice time with it.
