I have been working on this game on and off for a few months now, it's about ready to go. I have been using a working title for a while, but not too sure about it. Can anyone help with name ideas?

You are in control of a robot and you have to make your way through the levels, in futuristic type setting. There are levels and an endless mode to unlock. Here is a quick video of some of the gameplay.

    Thanks, good suggestions. I like must keep running (MKR for short).

    I have considered something like cyber run, but there is already a game called CyberRunner on the store, too similar?

    "Looks Badass" could be interesting name also.. Keep the ideas coming thanks!

    Can you ad a bird and call it: "VERY Angry Bird"?

    The best part about the name is that you have room for a sequel here "very very angry birds"

    Poor quadrupeds ... no one ever used them :(

    I would suggest a totally made up word like "astaxa run" or "amanja jump" or some such thing. The advantage to a totally new word is you can track it with Google very easily.

    My first game "Food Fight!" is impossible to track unless I add the studio name and I probably miss a lot with that. My second game I named "Nesen Probe" (Nesen is a scandinavian word for "nose") and I searched before launch to make sure nothing came in through Google. After it launched I could see all references to it with a Google Alert.

    Oh, using "a" or "b" or a letter early in the alphabet is good for keeping your app near the top of lists.

    Yea I have considered all the different variations of "X Run" "X Runner" "Running X" . So I guess I must have "run" in the title somewhere.
    What's best for searches really?

    EDIT: Design219 u posted at the same time, yea I wa thinking the same thing. If I user Runner or whatever will it get lost?

    I am just more confused tbh. I will probably just use something generic to be safe.

    wow butter bean,
    how many children do you have? (most couples only have two because they can't .... think of good names for more)

    that is an impressive list ... and plenty of left overs for the next guy who suffers from the "can't think of a name" syndrome ;)
  • butterbeanbutterbean Member Posts: 4,315
    @Xylo: Lol... no kids... YET :)

    But I'm an avid gamer, and a thesaurus helps too ;)
  • hrsmediahrsmedia Member Posts: 522
    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. That is a great list butterbean!
    I created a poll with my favs from the thread.
  • xyloFUNxyloFUN Member Posts: 1,593
    too bad you made that game now ... by 2022, you could have called it "Run Forrest Run" and everyone would have loved it (thanks to Alzheimers, there would have been hardly any complaints)

    +1 on blade runner, I was planning to suggest it but it might have copyright issues...
  • hrsmediahrsmedia Member Posts: 522
    Great film.

    I'm thinking maybe just go with Free Running, Free Run, or Free Runner? Probably best for searches, no?
  • hrsmediahrsmedia Member Posts: 522
    So what you think is best out of Free Running, Free Runner, and Free Run? Does it make much difference? Just preference? Or which will get the most searches?

    Before I even saw the list of names, the first thing that instantly came to mind when I saw this was "Bionic Runner". And low and behold it's on the list. Therefore... you MUST call the game Bionic Runner. The name fits perfectly. It also reminded me a little bit of Bionic Commando.

    Gary, braverunner reminds me of braveheart lol.
    Snow, I put Bionic Runner to a few people a couple of weeks ago, and they said it sounded a bit 80s. But I do like the name, as I do the others...
    Sheep, BioRunner is also cool, I have considered it also. ha Dashboot reminds me of the film Das Boot.
    Yea I've worked pretty hard on this one, I don't normally have trouble coming up with a name, but this one has got me stumped.

    It looks like Must Keep Running has most votes so far. Maybe I have to stop thinking about searches, and just pick the one that sounds the coolest.

    The Cool Wall:
    Must Keep Running, Bionic Runner, BioRunner, Split Second Machine, Split Second Robot, Metal Streak.

    Anyway I'm gonna make a decision in the next hour, even if I have to pick it out of a hat!
