By presenting a very simple gameplay in a complex structure, Runbow offers an unforgettable multiplayer experience to play with friends and family. The innovative level design along with its colorful and charming feel plus the variety of modes has made Runbow one of the best indie games available on Wii U.

While the inclusion of a 9 person multiplayer is indeed intriguing, there just isn’t enough to Runbow to really make you along want to come back, let alone the 8 other people you can possibly finagle. It’s simplistic jumping on levels for time trials, or it’s overly-chaotic racing around the same platforming levels. It’s not like the WiiU is hurting for good 2D platformers that you can play instead.

On a system without a lot of high-profile support lately, Runbow shines as an exclusive that plays to the Wii U's strengths and reflects the Nintendo ideals of a couch full of friends, laughing and playing together.

I personally liked it, very great and entertaining game. This was more of a late release and it's hard to find in stores so I thought it was underrated. Over all a decent game.

Corrida? Luta? Plataforma? Conceito único? Soundtrack? diversos personagens de jogos indies? Diversão ilimitada? Diversos modos de se jogar? Hm... realmente não sei porque estou dando 10.

This game is Incredibly simple yet amazingly fun. Haven't laughed this hard or had so much fun on a game in a long time. Pretty sure our neighbors hate us because of this game. It's just too much fun.

Overall, Runbow is easily one of the best indie titles currently available on the Wii U, and the single best local multiplayer game I have played on the console. What really sets Runbow apart though isn’t just its multiplayer gameplay, but its plethora of modes, innovative level design, charm, and overall gaming excellence.

With a bevy of different modes and ways to play, Runbow strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and appeal; you’d be hard-pressed to find a reason to turn down a game that’s this fun.

For the price, I'd still recommend Runbow for solo players, as long as you really love platforming. Even if you only enjoy the genre just a little though, it's still a fantastic party game.

Enjoyable platformer / Party Game with multiplayer modes enabled for up to 9 players simultaneously. Hypnotized fun for every single type of user.

Runbow is fun and challenging, it has many modes and support nine players both in local and online multiplayer. It’s recommended for all Wii U owners, especially to play with parents or friends.

At its heart, Runbow is a game to break out during a big gathering, rather than play on your own. Nothing is more fun than hooking up controllers and playing with a whole bunch of your friends for a night, and Runbow offers that in spades, provided you have all the Wii Remotes and attachments at your disposal.

Ultimately, Runbow disappoints. Bowhemoth is a fun distraction. Single-player is a pretty traditional and unimaginative series of levels that only major platforming fans will maybe enjoy. And online is a hit or miss (mostly miss) collection of modes that is fun for a little while, but falls under the shadow of the Wii U’s insufficient online multiplayer ecosystem.

This game is simple yet complex in design and has not been done before with full effect. It is a crazy fun party game (up to nine people!) that should be played.

People who have a Wii U should buy this game. The idea of game is really bright and brilliant. variable colors appears and block our way, and we have to handle a controller for passing a stage. It makes us feeling fun of the game. Also diverse characters are in, which are unlockable. If you have this game, you can hold a controller for several hours, I'm sure.

Great fun with other players, good platforming, tight controls and I love to play as indie icons as Shovel Knight and Juan from Guacamelee. A real must have. Even more if you use to play with friends (I find this game much better played that way)

If you own a WiiU and don't own this game you've made a blunder. Fantastic platforming game that is playable in both adventure and vs. modes (all modes are playable by 9 players!). Tons of modes. Tons of variety. Great music. Great in Groups. Great Solo. Wonderful unlockable characters! (Shovel Knight FTW!)
SummaryRunbow is a fast-paced action party game with a novel color mechanic: Up-to nine players race against each other as platforms and obstacles appear and disappear when the background changes vibrant colors.
