In the game, players play an explorer who steals the idol of the temple and is frantically chased by the demonic monkey and has to run along the strange terrain and steep terrain endlessly for survival. During the gradual acceleration of the run, players could fall into a deadly trap, fall over cliffs and waterfalls, or be captured and killed by the demon monkeys. As you can see, Temple Run has escape as its core game and background, which greatly gives players an extremely thrilling sense of running. So if you are a loyal fan of parkour and you are looking for a thrilling ride, there is no better game for you than Temple Run.

But never assume that Temple Run’s challenging obstacle setting will make it difficult for you to master the game. In fact, in order to keep you more immersed in the excitement of your escape, Temple Run doesn’t have too complex controls in case you may feel confused or complicated. Just press the Start button and your avatar will automatically start running, which means that all you really need to do is control his flexible position to avoid danger and collect props and coins in the path. To be specific, players can either slide the screen up, down, left and right to control the explorer’s left and right movement as well as jump and slide, or they can control the avatar’s left and right movement through the gyroscope function supported by the game, which tilts the phone left and right. In other words, all the difficult, agile and laborious actions of the in-game explorer can be achieved with players’ fingertips at exactly the right time.

In terms of actual gaming experience, Temple Run is a well-made, smooth and stereo, easy-to-master, and highly addictive parkour masterpiece. Compared with other parkour games, the picture of Temple Run is full of colors, and the game elements including totems, stone pillars, demonic monkeys and so on are also very carefully designed and realistic, perfectly depicting the mysterious atmosphere of the ancient temple, and the background music is also very exotic. The design of these elements to restore reality successfully makes players feel like they are in a real escaping journey, thus having a sense of thrill.
