A cute take on the endless runner, Le Vamp sees you take on the role of protector to the eponymous character as he escapes from a mob of pitchfork-wielding angry villagers. There are obstacles to overcome as you run, including streams (crossed safely by throwing a tree across) and garlic pigs, which are a far different proposition to the blood pigs that keep the vampire healthy and moving just out of the reach of the mob. There are bizarre enemies to defeat and avoid: the Pumpkin Pile, which places three stacked pumpkins in your path; killer sausages; and potatoes with a bad attitude. You'll also have to avoid the vampire's greatest enemy – sunbeams. All this while collecting coins to buy power-ups and completing objectives, such as crossing a certain amount of streams or removing garlic pigs from your path. The colourful, cartoon-style graphics and multilayered environments are fun to navigate, giving Le Vamp an appeal for both young and old players.
