Is This App Worth Your Time?

By Peter Terrence


Pioneered by Temple Run, this runner type game is liked on the mobile gaming platforms and you will probably find at least a few placed in the top charts for the App Store or Play Store. Today we'll be checking out the Android App Subway Surfers, however it's available on iPhone/iPad.

You are the character of adolescent harmless vandal who will be getting chased by a quite rotund security officer together with his dog. Your task is to try to steer clear of the obstacles and pick-up the gold as you go along. With the coins you can buy upgrades which includes Hoverboards (which let you take some damage but still keep on sprinting for instance getting slammed by a train) or you can begin 2000 meters further up. As with most mobile games these days, you could make quite a few in-game purchases to hurry the game up. Such as, each time you get slammed you've got an option to use a number of your keys to keep on sprinting, these are restricted if you do not spend money on even more.

The maps really are self generating so might be distinctive on every occasion, to continually keep you challenged. Whilst they do stick to a similar style as you will soon pick up mixing a few train jumps, hurdle jumps plus train stations. There are a number pickups along the way such as a jetpack and several dolls that will open special bonus items and options. Ever since we have been playing software, there are not one but two updates, that also adjusts the position of the subway that you're surfing! The original one was in Australia, while the today's one is in Tokyo. The themes alter in line within this, this is a pretty nice way to keep you from becoming bored. The game features 'Missions' and 'Daily Challenges' which once completed supply you with specific benefits. By way of example, perhaps it will supply you with additional coins or perhaps will release unique elements.

You start as Jake, however you will discover more than ten additional characters you'll be able to pick. Nonetheless, you do have to either get hold of particular items or spend money on them to un-lock them. The exact same can be said for the Hoverboard you have. The app has not yet failed ever since we were making use of it. We played the app using a HTC One and on an Apple iPhone 4. The mobile app is free of charge on the Android Play Store and Apple App Store, however there are some in-app purchases as I brought up before to increase the speed of your app advancement which can be commonplace in mobile apps at present. As it's an absolutely free game, you will find several advertisements. These are not displayed whenever you are literally playing the app however in most cases it's a total display advert when you load the mobile app up and when you temporarily halt the game.

Over-all, this is a awesome mobile game. The designers release frequent upgrades with evolving scenery and layouts, and also the maps are self-generating this means it doesn't get tedious. My only complaint from it is always that once you've been actively playing it for a short time, the very first minute or two of each and every game is dreary, after which it speeds up extremely fast to some level which we seen to be way too hard ., this means after this you must deal with the boringly gradual area regularly. Certainly, this may be because of just not being good enough with the mobile game. A superior free app, putting a cool spin over the Temple-run kind of games and one of which we found to be pleasant.
