OG mobile game!
Inferior to Subway Surfers I guess, but Subway Surfers wasn't released yet when I played this.

I liked this game, but the only appeal here is to get a higher score than your friends.
Otherwise the game is not that engaging regarding its environment, obstacles and music. Running away from a bunch of monkeys is funny I guess.

It's not as annoying as current casual mobile games with "watch this ad" and "get this upgrade", but the core problem is still present.
They definetely didn't let the game corrupt that much. On the other hand: it is very old and outdated.
But my guess is that the newer temple run entries will have more problems in that regard.
