Description: Stay on the catwalk, don’t fall off! Survive the time that’s assigned to you! Don’t look around, it won’t help you!

Review: At its heart ‘Don’t Look Around!” is an endless runner with 10 levels featuring different environmental distractions to hopefully not look at. Using a single button that turns the ball right, then forward, but nothing else. Its kind of like playing the classic Nokia game of Snake, but in 3/7 mode where you only used those buttons. While playing the pretty simplistic game you are bombarded with various flashes of colour, sounds and a very distracting environment.

It really is as crazy as it sounds, but yet somehow…it works! It’s strangely wonderful to look at, its a nice little challenge, its the perfect little distraction for a short while. Yes, you will get bored of it very quickly, but you will appreciate the brain workout and eye distractions. Well worth a few quid I say, provided you are looking for something different.
