About the game
This is a running game, but what does it exactly mean? Well, here your main objective is to run and stay alive at the same time, you have to jump, maneuver, avoid obstacles, grab bonus points, etc. Your main objective is to survive the maze and reach the finish line alive. Such games tend to be very relaxing and offer the opportunity to relax after a long and stressful day, I guess this is one of the reasons why it is so popular.
Temple Run 2 has other interesting features as well, we will talk about them below.
Menu
In the main menu of the game we can select different characters, it just changes the cosmetics of your main character and nothing more, no stat increase of anything like that. The list of characters includes: Professor Jones, Lara Bones, Mummy, Agent 99, Disco Dancer, and Cubeman.
Apart from changing characters, you can also mute the game. Oh, almost forgot to warn you, you can change characters if you have enough points, some characters cost like 300 points while others cost as much as 5000. Points can be earned by playing the game and getting bonuses.
Calculating your scores
I love how detailed your score is shown once you have died or finished round, it has all the necessary info of your stats, like: total score, distance, amount of coins, and the label that indicates whether or not if it is your top record.
You may also play again current level by hitting the reply button, very convenient I would say.
Tips for beginners
Running games usually require from you fast reaction, fast decision making, and calm mind. in order to succeed in Temple Run 2, I highly recommend you to train those three skills, especially the third one – being calm. People who panic in the game usually make most of the mistakes, it is okay to fail a couple of times in the beginning, you can always try again so be calm and enjoy the game.
