NBA Rush is an endless runner for iOS that pits current NBA stars against hostile aliens. You can swap between three different players, each with special powers, as you run down streets full of obstacles.

You'll Like NBA Rush if You Like: Games like Temple Run and Subway Surfers, and reminiscing about '90s animated classic Space Jam.

Who Makes It? RenRen Inc., the company behind one of China's biggest social networks. It's also officially licensed, and features licensed likenesses of current NBA players from 30 teams.

What's Special? This game uses familiar endless runner mechanics, where players have to jump over and slide under obstacles, but each move has a bit of basketball flair. Sliding left or right causes the character to perform a crossover, for instance. The killer move is dunking on low-flying alien spacecraft.

What Does It Cost? Nothing, but there are in-app purchases to revive your player after a spill, and to purchase other players from the expansive roster.
