Okay, let me break down exactly how I dove into Infinity Run 4 Fun today to sniff out their new updates. No fluff, just what happened step-by-step.
Jumping Back In
First thing I did was fire up the game on my phone during lunch. It had been a couple weeks since I last played, so the stupid app store had this fat update waiting – like 500MB, man. While it downloaded, I chugged my coffee, hoping they didn’t just add more ads.
Spotting the New Stuff Right Away
Booted it up and bam, immediate difference. The main menu now has this flashing “WHAT’S NEW” button right under the play button. Couldn’t miss it if I tried. Tapped that thing faster than my cat pounces on laser pointers. A slick pop-up showed four big features with GIF examples. Felt way better than digging through patch notes.
Testing the New Jetpack Mechanic
Started a run to try the first feature – Jetpack Mode. Right there on the character select screen was a new toggle. Switched it on, picked my runner dude, and whoosh! Double-tapped the screen and shot straight up over a whole traffic jam of buses. Completely changed how I dodged obstacles. Lasted maybe 15 seconds per fuel tank though, so gotta time it perfect when those spinning saw blades appear.
That Customization Tab Glow-Up
Got wrecked by lava traps on level 3 (classic), so I quit to check customization. Holy cow – they’d dumped all the gear into categories with actual thumbnails instead of that messy list. Scrolled sideways like a Tinder profile hunting shoes. Found new flaming sneakers under “Seasonal” tab. Costs coins earned from daily challenges now, not just gems. Smarter.
Night Mode Got Darker (In a Good Way)
Remember how Night Mode used to just be blue tint? Nah. Selected it from the level menu and they’d rebuilt the whole lighting engine. Actual street lamps cast moving shadows, neon signs reflect in puddles when you jump. Hard as hell to see traps though – slid straight into moving spikes twice because the shadows hid ’em. Worth it for those sweet light trails when you dash.
Secret Boss Fight? Sorta?
Final discovery happened by accident. Crashed into a new floating ? block during a run. Instead of coins, it spawned a freaking UFO that started blasting lasers everywhere. Weirdest rhythm mini-game ever – dodging beams to the soundtrack beat. Died in 8 seconds flat. Talked to my buddy later who confirmed it’s a random event. Gotta practice timing now.
Overall? Solid update. Jetpack’s fun but needs skill, the customization fix saved my sanity, and that night mode? Chef’s kiss. Still sucks at secret UFO fights though. Back to grinding coins for those flaming kicks tomorrow.
