At first time game Temple Run by Imangi Studios has appeared on iOS in August 2011. It is no exaggeration to say that it almost immediately “fired” – as one time it did, for example, the legendary Angry Birds. Quickly and confidently reaching charts in the AppStore, it kept its positions for a long time, and, during this time had “visited” nearly every device on iOS. Much later released a spin-off called Temple Run: Brave supported by Disney, which has become a great addition to the original. And now, appears Temple Run 2. Meet!
It is noticeable that the game has become more diverse, offering new types of traps and new locations.The game is fully preserved its magnificent and addictive gameplay. The first part literally revolutionized the genre of endless run.
For those who still are not familiar with the gameplay of Temple Run, a few words about the controls. Tilt your device left or right and making sharp turns, jumps and tackles by swiping you are surging ahead. During the race you have to overcome a lot of traps and obstacles, with no room for error. You also should collect coins and bonuses, and perform a variety of ordinary job. Since this endless run, then there is no finish line here – further run only the most persistent.

The same types of dark corridors Aztec jungle remained in the first part were replaced by the more colorful locations beneath the sky with castles, waterfalls and caves.
Now the main character (the game offers to choose1 of 4 characters) can not only run, but also make stunning abseiling and ride through the caves in the old truck. This adds even more gameplay variety – every race is fast, fun and new, the speed of the game scenes changing forces to be constantly on alert – after all, you won’t last long without a good response.

There are two types of game currency – coins and crystals. Basically, the coins are collected during the game, and there shouldn’t be lack of them cause there is a huge variety of them, just need deft hands and quick response. Crystals – are something like vip-currency, which also appear in the game, but very rarely. A big plus is that both currencies are given as a reward for achieving a new level – thanks to this, balance is maintained well and you don’t have to play for weeks to gather the necessary amount. For coins you can pump abilities, and powerups – for the crystals.
Also, there is an opportunity to continue the race after a loss – to do this, for just 2-3 seconds after the fall or insertion, you need to click “Save me” – the first time you can be reborn in a single crystal, the second time – for two, and so on – each subsequent life fee increases.
An important nuance – the game is FREE. Itunes link – https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/temple-run-2/id572395608
In summary, I can say that in this sequel is well complied “golden mean” – on the one hand, there aren’t significant changes in the gameplay, which makes it easy to adapt to the game and quickly enter into the taste. But at the same time, the outer shell has changed – added a lot of nice little things, which certainly benefited it. Temple Run 2 arrived just in time, and it fully deserves the title of a new hit at the App Store, and users of Android devices will have to wait a bit. The game will appear on Google Play in about a week.
