When you start, you\u2019ll constantly run to the right. Tap the jump icon to hop over obstacles, and use the attack icon to defeat any evil minions in your way. If you get hit, you\u2019ll get captured and have to start at the cage again. The levels are randomly generated, so each run is different every time.<\/p>\n<p>As you run, you\u2019ll collect coins which you can use to buy upgrades at the shop. These include new attacks, faster running, higher leaping, and even a double jump! Only problem is the good items cost thousands of coins, so it would take you forever to collect enough to buy them. The makers want you to spend real money to buy more coins, which is the nature of free-to-play games. Also, they don\u2019t explain what the items do very clearly. I can\u2019t see this game holding anyone\u2019s interest for very long, but if you enjoy games of this ilk, you may want to give it a try anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=9073\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9073\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9073\" alt=\"AMAZON_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AMAZON_SCREEN.jpg\" width=\"502\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AMAZON_SCREEN.jpg 502w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AMAZON_SCREEN-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AMAZON_SCREEN-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Little Amazon isn\u2019t rated by the ESRB, but it\u2019s OK for any age.
