Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! is an auto-runner free-to-play title from the developer of the Candy Crush series, King.

Additional features include weapon crafting, skins, character and base customizations, and multiplayer. Watch the Bandicoot duo beat up their nemesis in the trailer below.
As mentioned before, aside from the quintessential Crash gameplay and characters, this Crash Bandicoot mobile title also adds new gameplay mechanics to freshen up the formula. First of all, by doing runs, you can get special rewards that let you build, upgrade, and customize the Bandicoot base. Find secrets and get new skins to make your very own Crash stand out more in the crowds. Or gather specific ingredients to craft serums and buildings. In addition, various weapons such as Rocket Launcher and Raygun are available to unlock.
Furthermore Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! will launch with an asynchronous multiplayer mode. Run the island alongside fellow customized Crash characters and build a stylish Bandicoot crew.
