Former Subway Surfers co-developer Kiloo teams with AppGallery for latest Android game

MetroLand is out now

Former Subway Surfer's co-developer Kiloo has released its next major game on Huawei's AppGallery.

The game is a new arcade runner game called Metroland, and it launched on AppGallery - which is pre-installed onto all Huawei phones and also available to download on other Android devices - on February 3, 2022.

MetroLand challenges players to become non-conforming, young and energetic explorers, dashing, dodging and even using parkour to outrun the evil MegaCorp guards. Denmark-based Kiloo has invested its extensive experience to develop this new endless runner that can be picked up as easily for five minutes of play, or for several hours, at a pace to suit the user.

The gameplay takes place across a number of cities and includes seven different areas that unlock as progress is made. It aims to illustrate busy, modern city life with the emphasis on momentum, speed, and excitement.

Emulating some of the most downloaded endless runner games on the market, including its own, Kiloo has taken MetroLand to the next level, incorporating new design trends, polishing the gameplay, and adding meta elements to appeal to a wider variety of user profiles.

"We have gathered all our learnings from working on endless running games over the years and condensed them into our take on the perfect, casual runner," says Kiloo CEO Jacob Møller. "MetroLand is instantly familiar and engaging, but still holds surprising twists and innovations for all those who are brave enough to travel to MetroLand and join our group of charismatic youngsters in their playful rebellion against MegaCorp, the antagonists of the game."

Kiloo is aiming its new launch at a broad audience and has built in frequent updates that are themed around annual events such as Halloween, or weekly events that keep players fully engaged. MetroLand also allows the characters to be sent on missions and evolve as the game is being played.

Dr. Jaime Gonzalo, VP of Huawei Mobile Services, added: "Games can be longer or shorter, easier or harder, cartoonish or realistic. But ultimately what separates good games from the great ones is their level of fun. And that´s precisely the key criteria for the AppGallery editors to cherry pick the best games in the market for our users. With that logic in mind, we are extremely pleased to offer to all AppGallery users across all Android smartphones, the next generation of endless runners, from the hands of those who hold the crown in that genre, the outstanding Kiloo team.

AppGallery is the official Huawei distribution platform for apps and games, and can also be downloaded onto all Android smartphones via the official website.
