Gamsole has released a teaser video in anticipation of its soon-to-be-released game title, Gidi Run.

Gidi Run is a three dimensional endless runner set in Lagos, and is based the relationship between Policemen and transport workers. The comical video teaser features Musa, a truculent cop who has set up a makeshift checkpoint at which he extorts public transport workers. But he didn’t reckon on Shanko, a dare devil bus conductor that cannot be bothered to stop for even the police. The trailer also introduces Bamidele, another cantankerous cop, and Ebuka, a taxi driver.

Gamsole is not only pushing the envelope with slick 3D graphics, but is also exploring a richer experience with unique and better developed in-game characters. Gidi Run’s characters all have distinct personalities and a rich spectrum of expressions.

The Subway Surfer and Temple Run-esque game, Gidi Run is coming soon to the Windows Phone store and Windows PC marketplace.
