Is This App Worth Your Time?

By Peter Terrence


Pioneered by Temple Run, this runner kind of game has grown to be very popular in the mobile gaming platforms and you might notice at the least one or two sitting in the top charts within the App Store or Play Store. Today we will be exploring the Android App Subway Surfers, however it is available too on iPhone/iPad.

You play the character of teen innocent vandal who is getting pursued by a somewhat large guard as well as his dog. Your task is always to stay away from the obstacles and pick up the gold coins as you go. Using the coins you can buy upgrades which includes Hoverboards (which allow you to take some damage and still keep jogging for instance getting struck by the train) or you can start off 2000 metres further up. As with most video games these days, you can possibly make some in-game purchases to hurry the game up. For instance, every time you get slammed you have an alternative to use a number of your keys to continue to keep running, however these are restricted if you do not acquire even more.

The maps really are self generating so can be diverse everytime, to always keep you speculating. Even though they do use a very similar layout because you rapidly pick-up mixing together a few train leaps, hurdle jumps coupled with train stations. There are lots of pick-ups on the way perhaps a jetpack as well as dolls which open special perks and features. Since we have been using the app, there has been not one but two updates, which alters the location of the subway you will be surfing! The very first one was in Australia, while the latest one is in Tokyo. The themes changes in line within this, this is a quite nice solution to keep you from losing interest. The game features 'Missions' and 'Daily Challenges' that as soon as they are achieved give you selected extras. For example, it could supply you with further gold coins or even can open particular features.

Starting off as Jake, however there exist around 10 more figures you can pick. Then again, you do have to either accumulate a number of items or even pay for them to unlock them. The very same can probably be said for the Hoverboard you have. The app has not yet gone down ever since we've been working with it. We played the application using a HTC One and on an Apple iPhone 4. The application is free of charge inside the Android Play Store and Apple App Store, nonetheless there are many in-app purchases as I discussed previously to quicken your game progress which happens to be prevalent in mobile games presently. As it is a free of charge mobile game, you will find several advertisements. These are not displayed as you are in fact playing the app however in most cases it's a full screen ad whenever you load the mobile application up and when you pause the game.

Over-all, this is usually a awesome game. The creators unveil continuous up-dates with evolving surroundings and styles, and the maps are self-generating which means it doesn't get mundane. My only critique of this is the fact that once you've been playing it for a while, the earliest few minutes of each and every game is monotonous, and then it speeds up very quickly to some level of which we seen to be too challenging, this means afterward you need to tolerate the boringly sluggish piece time and time again. Of course, this could be because of just not being good enough within the app. A high-quality totally free mobile game, placing a cool twist around the Temple-run kind of games and one of which we discovered to be exciting.
