Today sees the release of Temple Run, the highly anticipated game from developers Imangi. The has been loads of speculation regarding this title which was a colossal hit on iOS. Now on Android it’s likely to replicate that success. In true Indiana Jones-style you’re on the run from a crumbling temple with a cursed idol, but also with insane monkeys on your tail!
Tilting and swiping left, right, up and down will help you avoid the various deadly obstacles that stand in your way. You collect coins as you progress and you can ultimately buy bonuses and unlock new characters if you do well. The app itself has been hyped to the hilt by Apple users and some sources have suggested it has been downloaded over 40 million times on that platform.
I’ve already given the game a quick go and it immediately reminded me of ‘I Must Run‘ only with far more maneuverability and in 3D. It is also very, very addictive so definitely give it a go! The app is free but there seems to be some optional in-app purchases. We’ll be sure to post a review very soon, but in the meantime, be sure to check it out by downloading it below:
