    All told, if this game isn't on your phone, you're doing yourself a huge disservice.

    It matches the sheer thrill and intensity of Canabalt, but with a completely new theme and perspective. We've all wanted to be Indiana Jones at some point, and now's your chance.

    The "endless running" genre consists of many excellent titles, with the likes of Tiny Wings, DoodleJump and Grim Joggers receiving high acclaim. Temple Run goes above and beyond, offering gamers a superb, addictive experience throughout.

    Temple Run is a very good running game with accurate touch controls, frenetic action and lots of achiements and power-ups to unlock. It's simple and fun, and it's free. What are you waiting for? Go download it now.

    A fast and frenzied iPhone experience. The combination of swiping and tilt controls gives each session a frantic feeling. Right now the package feels a little basic and derivative, but still quite fun.

    A solid take on the endless running genre that doesn't add anything, but is still fun all the same.

    My big qualm with Temple Runner lies in the fact that the majority of the game's scenery looks the same. Yeah, the scenery does change here and there, but most of the time, gamers are running through ruined, temple pathways that look consistently the same. It all starts to blur together after a while.

    Temple Run brings the non-stop running game genre(if it is a genre) to new heights, with its addictive gameplay and excellent upgrade systemTemple Run brings the non-stop running game genre(if it is a genre) to new heights, with its addictive gameplay and excellent upgrade system all looks fine and dandy in the universe of running out of a temple for free world. It also is a very dynamic game, with the camera swooping low as you skid underneath a tree and bends tightly as you sprint around corners. Unfortunately the game isn't perfect and its attempt at all this seems to occasionally make the game not respond to your commands. E.g. I go to turn a corner and the 2500m pop-up comes on and makes my character not turn, becoming a game with alot of lag. Another example is when I picked up the boost temporary upgrade and "guy dangerous" ran off of the track missing the corner while going really fast. These small things can really spoil the time and it should be fixed. That said, I recommend this to any iOS users.… Expand

    As your time in a specific run progresses,    In this game, your character starts off running at a reasonable pace through a fairly linear maze.
    As your time in a specific run progresses, the character's speed and the maze's complexity both increase.
    Coins both increase your score and count toward in-game purchases, such as power-ups and character skins.
    Coins are worth one coin each, red coins are worth two, and blue coins are worth three.
    The vertical bar in the top-left corner of the screen grants you a bonus each time it fills up, meaning your overall score and grow each time the meter refills. To fill this meter, collect coins.

    the sound quality and gharphic is also good but its need more changes like the way character run its need to improve the speed and flexibility of the character to improve the game and the level will be more interesting and excited to play the game.    … Expand
