One genre of mobile games that exploded around 3 years ago is the fabled Temple Run. Belonging to the endless runner genre of games Temple instantly became one of the most popular mobile games on both the IOS appstore and Google Play store. For those that didn’t know the objective in Temple Run is to keep running as long as you can while collecting coins and power ups along the way; just don’t take it too lightly as you have to dodge various obstacles while being chased by monkeys!
Like most games, mobile or console or PC, everyone likes to win and hold the title of best. The rush and feeling you get when you finally reach a score of one million in Temple Run just pushes you that much further in your desire to run for the highest score you can get. But, like most games, Temple Run isn’t an easy game for you to leisurely play; as your run progresses the speed slowly begins to creep up on you testing your reflexes. Once you finally run into the flames or get caught by the following monkeys, it is natural to feel frustrated. Thankfully we have some tips and tricks, and even some cheats, to up your Temple Run game to prevent this anger from occurring as frequent.
Free-run
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Yeah this tip is cliche and over said but in a fast paced, reactive game like Temple Run, this advice has never been more true. Once you experience all of the different areas and obstacles that Temple Run has to offer, you’ll be prepared for anything the game has to throw at you. Then no matter how fast you’re going you know when you can jump, slide, tilt, etc…
Save up them coins
Breathe in, breathe out.
Like the aforementioned rage that comes from failure of a massively long run, when the action heats up in Temple Run you can easily get overwhelmed. When you first start your run you start as a nice and easy jog, but then you begin the growing descent into super speed as you run for your life and for the highest score you can achieve. Once this speed kicks into high gear don’t panic and swipe all over the place as you run faster and faster. If you keep yourself calm and your hands and fingers steady, you will be better at reacting to the obstacles coming at you no matter the speed.
Plan out your run
Up, down, left, or right?
When you come across the different obstacles you’ll figure out how to pass them. This goes hand in hand with the aforementioned “Practice. Practice. Practice.” tip. But once your get on an extremely long run you may be able to pick up on a pattern. Once you go on long runs you’ll get to a point where the obstacles repeat for up to 3 times in a row. Make sure you begin to pick up on this pattern as it can help you prepare for the obstacles to come. It may seem like a stretch but the game does tend to stack the same obstacles in rapid succession in order to mess you up.
Let’s take it slow
Play it smart
The best tip you can have with any game is to play it smart. Don’t go and try to grab a single coin if you’re going to die and end your run as it is a waste of time and will just make you play longer. More importantly if you just grabbed a power up like the invisibility, don’t keep jumping up and down when you start flashing as the power up starts to die; keep jumping up and down and bam out of nowhere you aren’t invisible and you crashed into one of the many obstacles found in the game.
