Editor's Review:
Temple Run is a truly exciting running game. From the moment you start to run, you just want to keep going until you reach the end of the world. It is thrilling to swipe and turn in different directions. Whenever you successfully leap over the roots, you feel as light as air. Sliding under fallen trees requires quick reactions, but you will always have the motivation to challenge yourself. The controls are rather intuitive, so even if the difficulty level becomes challenging, you will not feel overwhelmed. It feels like you are doing impossible things with your finger, dodging all the obstacles. Collecting coins can be quite challenging in the beginning, but if you try your best, you will eventually show your best performance. Whenever you conquer your last record, you will feel a deep sense of satisfaction. It is not simply about running farther; after you surpass your previous record, you will always feel proud of yourself. Whenever you outrun the menacing demon monkeys, you feel like you can achieve the impossible. The rhythmic running will always give you a satisfying rush. In this world, the environment makes you feel like you are in a totally different ancient world. The crumbling temple, the large jungle, and the fiery chasms always create a sense of danger and mystery. You can never predict what you may come across next, but you will be willing and fully prepared to conquer all the obstacles.
The sound design is also fantastic. With the rhythmic sound of your character's feet, you will always have this sense of exciting running and will never get bored. You just want to conquer more obstacles and send your character into the unknown to feel greater excitement. The jingle of collected coins gives you extra motivation to gather more coins to buy boosters. The ominous growl of the demon monkeys always creates a sense of danger and threat, making you focus even more on the path ahead and pushing you toward the next milestone. Everything in this world is designed to fully activate every cell in your body. Even if you have no former experience playing virtual running games, you can definitely pick it up and start running beneath the beautiful scenery. You will always find the ultimate joy in running and mastering the timing of slides and jumps. You will feel you are a superhero, and you will act more gracefully in front of different obstacles. If you play this game for a very long time, you may even come to learn the patterns of the appearance of different obstacles so well that your instinct will be activated to successfully avoid all of them. You must also strategically use all the power-ups to achieve the highest scores. It is not simply about using power-ups at any time; you must wisely use them to make full use of the power contained within them. There is no need for you to feel overwhelmed because in the beginning, things will not be that challenging, and the number of obstacles will not be huge, so you will have enough time to get accustomed to the running rhythm and the environment around you.
But after playing for a while, you will unlock more characters and have the chance to upgrade your power-ups, which will give you a totally refreshed game experience. You will also feel the excitement of pushing your limits while trying to conquer all the obstacles. You will never feel repetitive because the environment keeps changing, the difficulty level gradually rises, and you will face new challenges. So, you will never feel monotonous. On the contrary, you will feel the power of concentration when you are fully motivated and have only the goal of running forward in your mind. Somehow, you may find that you have so much power within you to successfully conquer all obstacles and reach the ultimate destination. The first perilous dash into this ancient temple will give you the courage and faith to run and conquer. It is really possible for you to become addicted to this experience. You will just want to create one milestone after another without stopping. The busy experience is not simply about collecting all the gold coins and running further and further; actually, it is more about helping you release your pressure through this running experience.
