![]() Swipe to turn, jump and slide to avoid obstacles, collect coins and buy power ups, and see how far you can run! Test your reflexes as you race down ancient temple walls and along sheer cliffs. And it’s amazing." - įrom the makers of the award-winning best-seller Harbor Master® comes the most exhilarating running game on the App Store. ![]() Temple Run is this scene and nothing else. "In pretty much every treasure hunting adventure movie there’s one specific scene in which the plucky hero finally gets his hands on the treasure but then has to navigate a maze of booby traps in order to get out alive. It won't last forever and jaded iOS gamers may end up skipping it on principle, but for those after a solid runner, this is a definite a must-grab. Temple Run does what a lot of runners have failed to do for a long time, namely remain exciting at least until most of the bonuses are unlocked. The ability to purchase 'resurrection' power-ups also allows you to continue a particularly good run, though the charges are consumed in the process. What makes Temple Run so compelling is its clever use of unlockable power-ups that synergize with each other (such as the inclusion of coins worth more money the further you run and a magnet power-up that also multiplies their value) and the quickly scaling difficulty that rewards players who manage to get 'in the zone' mentally speaking. This aids him in the quest of collecting coins scattered around the path (which can subsequently be spent on power-ups and goodies to make runs last longer or be more profitable), but more importantly it allows him to avoid hazards such as crumbled pathways. While the game is responsive enough to swipes for changing your direction (be it up, down, left, or right), your iOS device can also be tilted left or right to move the player to one side or the other of the platform he's running on. As you'd expect of the genre there are controls to jump and slide, however the extra dimension also allows for the ability to turn and Imangi Studios exploits this in two ways. ![]() Like several endless runners of-late, Temple Run takes a shot at mastering the 3D perspective, opting in this case to have players run in to the screen towards an unknown distant location, swerving back and forth as the terrain changes. So when they named this game Temple Run, it was almost guaranteed to be about some sort of Hollywood archeologist running away from natives. Anyone who likes endless runners or who has enjoyed Temple Run games in the past should check out this game for the new worlds, obstacles, and mini-games.Imangi Studios isn't the kind of company to mess around with a name, what with games and apps like Word Squares, PhotoMarkr, Max Adventure and Harbor Master being almost exactly what you'd think them to be. Overall, Temple Run Oz is enough of a departure from the original to warrant spending your 99 cents. I find that grinding it out the old-fashioned way is more fun, but it's worthy of note that the option is there for you. It's certainly not a ground-breaking mini-game, but makes for a nice break in the action and lets you fill up your coin supply.Īs is usual in many games these days, you have the ability to pay real money to add to your coins so you can buy every upgrade you want. Up in the air, you can tilt to steer around giant obstacles while you collect long strings of coins that add up more quickly than they would on the ground. The best of them occurs when occasionally you'll see Oz's iconic hot air balloon pass in front of your path, and if you go in the direction of the balloon, you'll be able to fly high over the surface. ![]() As with all the Temple Run games, you'll collect coins as you run that can be used to buy power-ups, but some interesting mini-games within Temple Run Oz give you the opportunity to collect much more.
