I thought I was done with endless runners. After Temple Run stormed the App Store in 2011, endless runners became a staple of the mobile gaming scene, from brilliant and simple 2D entries like Canabalt and Alto’s Adventure to branded freeloaders like Sonic Dash and Spider-Man Unlimited.

Most have been pleasant distractions, but few have kept me glued to my iPhone screen for hours on end. Blades of Brim is one of those games.

Apple unveiled iOS 9 during its annual WWDC keynote this past Monday, and released the first beta version of its new software that afternoon. Since anyone who pays $99 for an Apple developer account can install it — in fact, you don’t even need a developer account to install iOS 9 — we can expect every last detail surrounding the new OS to trickle out in the coming days, despite the fact that developers aren’t supposed to disclose any nonpublic information about the beta.
