Upon completing Tom Sennett and Matt Thorson’sRunMan: Race Around the World, I had only one thought — namely, that the two creators oughtta be drowning in money for making such a damned good platformer. I wondered if the two had considered pulling a Derek Yu, and making an updated version of the game for XBLA or PSN.

“I would say don’t hold your breath,” Sennett said via email. “I’d much rather just make a brand new RunMan game.” Thorson concurred: “I think we’re done with RATW.”

That means only one thing: if you played and enjoyedRunMan: Race Around the World, you’re not going to get a better chance to reward the creators of a charming, speed-based platformer that’s so goddamn good it should make Sega feel downright ashamed at how bad even the halfway decentSonicthe Hedgehoggames are in comparison.
