You may have thought the most famous piece of hair in the gaming scene was that which belongs to Shantae; half-genie. You’d be right too, but our purple-haired heroine has got a bit of competition as Glam arrives on the scene in Glam’s Incredible Run: Escape from Dukha.
An acrobatic platformer in which you play as the titular Glam, utilising her flowing locks in order to traverse a multitude of levels, Glam’s Incredible Run: Escape from Dukha drops onto Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5 after previous success on Nintendo Switch.
Glam’s Incredible Run: Escape from Dukha is priced at £4.19 from the Xbox Store and will see you helping Glam resuce her mother from danger. You see, it’s her who has been held captive by an evil witch, as they hope to stop the joint mother-daughter powers from becoming one.
Created by Three Legged Egg and published by RED ART GAMES, Glam’s Incredible Run: Escape from Dukha has a story and stages that are split across no less than eleven chapters, with 220 odd levels playing host to all manner of peril – foes and traps alike. Each of these will require you to showcase your platforming skills as you swing from platform to platform, branch to branch with Glam’s hair holding you up.
But it gets better still and complementing the solo adventure is a local cooperative mode – with this playing host to another sixty levels.
