Agent Dash

4 cert, Full Fat, iOS ****

APP OF THE WEEK:Agent Dash has a very simple premise. In the manner of games such as Temple Run, you simply run. Well, run while collecting gems, avoiding falling off cliffs, and dodging obstacles. A misplaced oil drum will halt your progress if you fail to clear it properly. Laser beams will fry your agent. The odd time you might have to slide under a closing door or risk a game-ending head injury. And all while decked out James Bond-style. As you progress, you can add bonus items; a magnet that will attract all the gems close to you for a few seconds, a jetpack propels agents, or you can choose to add super diamonds to the mix to boost your score. One-off items can be bought as well; some will land you back where you last left off, others will drop you in just ahead of the villain's base. Gems are the currency, and to buy the power-ups you need to have amassed a fair few along the way. But be warned: sometimes following the gems can lead you down the wrong path – like, face-first into a sign. It's easy to get distracted by picking up the shiny objects, but the main objective of Agent Dash is to progress along the ever-advancing track. It's frustrating, but you'll keep coming back to it.
