You have to be ready for anything that may come your way. In this ‘Mad Run’ the further you go, the harder it gets. Swipe to switch lanes and tap to jump over hurdles. You can also collect gold coins that can be used to purchase unlockable characters like his adorable daughters Kaci & Leah.

Who Is … Stevo The Madman?

Stevo’s Mad Run is based on the real-life London based influencer, Stevo the Madman. He’s an entrepreneur and former professional footballer who played for teams like Leyton Orient and Boreham Wood, but he didn’t become internet famous until he started using Snapchat. His funny videos on movies and dancing have gone viral, making him a Snapchat sensation. With more than 300k followers on social media and a loyal fan base known as ‘Spartans,’ the game based on him has shot to the top of the charts.

Stevo’s Mad Run is an excellent example of how you can work with social influencers to help promote your games and increase app downloads.
