Community Insight:
The older version for iOS 5 works it just slaps Sonic Dash(2011 version) in the face.
We love this game soo much it has become our fav.
Ive been playing this game since we were 2 on our grandpas tablet, we remember this game so clearly Thank you for making our childhood.
Its so fun and like helps your brain a lot thank you a lot temple run.
Its a classic now with 5 stars.
We love the new stuff in the game and its so fun and easy to use for free lol we love it too much but im just want you guys too love your game so so so so so so so so so so so so much fun and ill love love it to.
When we were around like five or six, we came across this game and it was our favorite game and then we lost the iPad that we had this downloaded on so we can have it for a few years. And we just came across it just now and now Im happy that we found it again.
Creators of this game nailed it.
We USED TO PLAY THIS GAME AS A KID! THE GRAPHICS ARE SOOOOOOOO NOSTALGIC. By the way we like the new Christmas character and it is a nutcracker, and we could believe it finally has been updated. We have temple run 2 and it is great too but the first temple run is the best because this is a game that everyone will remember from their childhood. If you know nostalgic games like angry birds then this one is too because it has the nostalgic feel and the sounds it will bring back the good old times and this is probably the best game we ever seen anyways like this game and play it.
Its very good not weird kinda like partkour.
Please bring back temple run oz.
It was one of the best games Ive ever played.
Temple run is a fun relaxing game. It is an endless run until you die but will do it again it is very fun and you should install it for when u are bored.
Best game ever but it does have adds.
For the first few days we played this game it was pretty fun we think it should be easier cause its so hard but its fun.
Good to pass the time not our favorite but worth downloading.
This is a great game however we find it kind of odd that once you die in this game it will say continue or run again so if you click continue you have to watch and ad but when you click run again it makes you watch an ad to which we find very odd cause youd hiked not have to watch an ad just cause you die.All so some people might find that the little animal thing that we chasing them is disturbing because it only has 2 arms.Over all this game is very fun and we oils recommend downloading.
It legitimately said that we could write a review when we looked at the comments XD so here we are. Depending on the gameplay and content we would enjoy the game we watched the video and we loved the gameplay and content but the graphics not so much we love Minecraft and other games with good graphics but we really get a weird feeling while playing with strange graphics. No offense! We are just here for a review so we hope you respond soon! One more thing, it said write a review so we give this game .. 4 stars but not five because the graphics. See ya KittyBiscuit.
Its good love the suspension when you get close to the gorillas but we played it on a free app before we downloaded it and loved it but it does have ups and downs so many ads and then sometimes the game glitches and it makes you lose before you get to move like we went to move left and it made us run off the edge and we did this another time and it did it again but when it says would you like to watch the ad to continue just click the ad because it just gives you an ad but other than that its a mid game.
Its a super fun game, but ads ruin it for us.
Paid for AD removal, still have to watch an Ad to continue.
Fun but the insane amount of ads make it not even worth it, just like every other game.
When we die it ask us if we want to watch a ad to continue we click no it shows us a ad anyway why ask.
Its just never our first pic it gets boring. Its the same thing.
Best of the best nostalgic memories just looking at the app icon truly an original game that reminds you of better times.
No lag super fun downloaded it 1 month ago and still addicted.
Would play for hours with our brother.
If this game wasnt good then it wouldnt still be out just saying this game is kinda like Disney movie national treasure which is a good thing.
This game is offline and over all so much fun and if you are having trouble with ads just close the app and reopen then app its so easy 5 STARS.
This game is literally nostalgic.
Ok so here us out the game is fun for all ages but the only problem is the adds so many adds! Thank you for you time.
We love this game. We have been playing it since we were really little with our sibling its so fun and entertaining for when you are bored . We love all the features you can buy, we also love how it can be easy but also really challenging at the same time. It distracts us from what ever is going on and so we love this game and you should get it.
One of the best games ever definitely worth downloading on you phone Ive been playing for years and it is still as fun as when we started.
It is fun because you run from demen minkes & can jump duck.
We used to play this since we were a little kid in 2014.
This game is cool when monkeys chase you.
No need to spend unless you want to.
We played it sense we were 5or4 and we WAS SO HAPPY:D and it's so fun to play. We don't know why we erased it.
We tried this because our dad played it and after we tried it, it was amazing.
Temple run is best most relaxing games.
This game is very nostalgic for us, but its also very simple and charming. People of any age can play it, and the best part is that there arent too many ads.
We got this game last year and let us just say its a really good game! There has never been any glitches or anything, the one problem is that there is a lot of ads if you die in the game. Other than that a phenomenal game! Thank you.
This game is our childhood. Very pleasing to play, fun, exciting, and great for players of all ages.
It still needs a little more work we love this game. Ive played it ever since we were little and we absolutely loved it but the one thing that really annoys us is that almost like every time you die it will give you an ad but overall, it is a great fun entertaining game that we love to play when Im bored.
There is a lot of good games, but this one is great.
We love it but the adds bug us. This is the first time we write our feedback, its amazing does not have any glitches but the adds. Its from the arcade so its free!!!!!!!Sometimes we swipe up and down but sometimes it does the OPPOSITE!!! If you like getting chased and the game goes faster and faster plus collecting coins then you will love this game a lot. So if the game can fix the add problem and the swipe problem we will give this 5s.
We Love this game so much! It never gets old,but we wish you could change your character and have different opinions of lands to race in,but besides that we LOVE it.
The game is good but the more you loose the more you get annoying ads so if you want to download a game don't play temple run.
Eh, its a good game overall but the ADs there are SO many of them.. Do we want to pay for a silly game to pass the time? No- hence, 3 stars. Too many ads.
