Angry Gran Run: Paris

Dodge traffic, bash punks, and sprint through the City of Light as a granny with a serious attitude problem.

I’ll be honest—I didn’t expect much from a game about an escapee granny, but ten minutes in I was dodging mimes and headbutting street performers. Angry Gran Run: Paris takes the endless runner formula and gives it a ridiculous French twist. You play as a furious old lady who’s busted out of the asylum and is now tearing through the streets of Paris. The goal? Run as far as you can, collect coins, and cause as much mayhem as possible before something splats you. The controls are simple enough. Swipe up to jump, down to slide, and tap the attack button to smack anyone in your way. Timing matters more than you’d think—some barriers need a perfectly timed jump, while low awnings demand a quick slide. I found myself restarting constantly because I’d get greedy for a coin and eat a lamppost. That’s the loop: risk versus reward. The Paris setting is charming, with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre in the background, but the real fun is the chaos. You can pick up weapons—baguettes, umbrellas, even a poodle?—to whack pedestrians, and there are power-ups like a coin magnet and a jetpack that turn the run into pure anarchy. One moment that cracked me up: I jumped over a cafe table, slid under a bus, and then punched a mime so hard he flew into a fountain. The ragdoll physics are gloriously janky, and the sound effects add to the slapstick. It’s not a deep game, but it’s the kind of stupid fun you’ll keep coming back to for one more run.

• Upgrading your coin magnet first makes early runs much more forgiving. • Wait for the last possible moment to jump over barriers—early jumps often leave you short. • Use the attack button aggressively; knocking pedestrians aside can clear a path and drop coins. • Prioritize the jetpack power-up whenever you see it, it saves you from almost any obstacle. • Don't get greedy for high coins in tight spots; survival matters more than a small pickup. • Slide under low awnings rather than jumping, because the hitbox is more forgiving.
