About Temple Run

Temple Run is a free mobile game developed for Android tablets and smartphones where you have the purpose of running away from the Evil Demon Monkeys. It only takes a title to achieve success while using a specific gameplay style for other developers to develop their very own interpretations. The endless runner niche was brought to popularity by the well-known game called Subway Surfers. Even though they cover the same mechanics, each title has a different feeling. Since it was published, this release has collected more than half a billion installs, according to the Google Play Store. This statistic makes this game one of the most successful so far. It takes a lot to make so many people download your game and play it on repeat.

A proper story to begin our adventure

Our hero started on an adventure to steal an idol from an abandoned temple located somewhere in the jungle. However, this item appears to be cursed, and now we have to help the protagonist escape the monkeys chasing him. In this process, we'll have to test and prove our skills and reflexes because there are plenty of challenges to face before seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Not only the hero runs on damaged roads, but you also have to deal with fog obscuring the view. It's a combination that can lead to death with ease.

The longer you manage to run, you'll start noticing how the difficulty increases as more and more obstacles pop up in the path. Don't let this aspect discourage you because there are a few methods that you can use to avoid death. Each run allows us to collect coins which later we can take advantage of to purchase power-ups and even unlock brand new characters.

Controls designed for mobile devices

When it comes to controls, there's nothing new if you've already played other similar games. The hero's movement takes place through gestures. Swipe up each time you want to jump over holes and other obstacles and swipe down to roll. To take corners, you must use your finger and slide towards that direction. For example, the action of going to the left requires us to swipe left on the screen. Pretty simple and easy to get familiar with, correct? All the player has to do is to run without falling into holes and smashing into obstacles. If you can't abstain from doing something stupid, the run starts again.

Unlock characters and powers

With all those gold coins players have collected, they can buy new characters, such as Scarlett Fox, a red-haired girl who is a fugitive artist, Jack Wonder, a rugby player with his blue helmet, and Karma Lee. As you can read above, Temple Run also brings a few abilities designed to make your task of escaping the monkeys easier. We can use them to turn our hero invisible for a short period, run faster, and jump a few kilometers away for a better score. Concerning the visuals, Temple Run offers a good gaming experience thanks to its 3D models and textures. The graphics are not demanding, allowing the player to enjoy the action even on older Android smartphones and tablets.
