LEGO® Friends Heartlake Rush+ Apple Arcade

Our Site Score

83/100

If you're looking for a kid-friendly alternative to Subway Surfers, LEGO Friends Heartlake Rush+ is the perfect answer. It takes the familiar lane-shifting runner formula and injects it with the charm and 'building' DNA of the LEGO brand. The visuals are crisp and colorful, perfectly capturing the aesthetic of the Heartlake City sets.

The mission system provides a solid loop. Instead of just running for distance, you're tasked with specific goals like 'collect 50 flowers' or 'jump over 10 buses,' which keeps the gameplay feeling purposeful. The addition of vehicle transformation—turning your car into a plane for bonus sections—is a highlight that always brings a smile to young players.

While the core mechanic is simple, the constant stream of unlocks (new characters, new decals, new pets) provides plenty of longevity. It’s a safe, high-speed, and genuinely fun experience that fits perfectly within the Apple Arcade library. It's great to see a runner that doesn't rely on FOMO or microtransactions.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. If you’ve played one endless runner, you’ve played them all. This one is perfectly adequate. It’s vibrant, it’s fast, and it uses the LEGO license well enough. The lane-shifting mechanics are standard. It’s designed to keep kids tapping and wanting to unlock that next pink car. It’s better than most generic runners because it has the LEGO polish, but mechanically, it’s as shallow as a puddle. It's fine for what it is, but it's deeply unoriginal.
