On: Netflix Infinite Runner

[Shank]

Okay, perhaps I'm out of the loop. Is this created for marketing purposes, technical purposes, or something else? What makes this different from a random Ludum Dare-style submission, other than the Netflix logo?

[shuntress → Shank]

Marketing but targeting/engaging existing customers to increase brand loyalty rather than targeting non-customers in an effort to bring them on board.

Perhaps it isn't any different to a random Ludum Dare-style submission. Is there anything wrong with Random Ludum Dare-style submissions?

[rconti → Shank]

I don't get it. Who are these characters? What is the background patterned after? I feel like I'm missing an inside joke.

[cpayne → rconti]

They are all Netflix shows.

As others have said. Pablo & Marco Polo. Piper Chapman from Orange is the New Black and Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things. (Won't make sense if you haven't seen the shows)

[andruc → rconti]

I can only confirm the first two, but they're the stars of their respective Netflix Original Series. The background and enemies are thematic to their shows.

pablo escobar is from their original Narcos. Music is adapted from show's theme. he is delivering cocaine and running from cops. Same with rest of them .

I think besides the logo the characters that run are related to Netflix show. It struck me only after I read your comment.

Marco Polo - from Marco Polo series The female - from Organge is new Apple Pablo - from some drug related tv series. (is he the math teacher who makes crack ?)

You are thinking about Breaking Bad, where a chemistry teacher starts to cook meth.

Pablo is from the show Narcos, which is based on the real-life story of the drug lord Pablo Escobar.
