Temple Run Rants Apple App Store

Jan 25, 2012 Gaming

I played, had a weeks of gaming enjoyment. The only thing I kept playing more was Temple Run although I used to keep myself busy with FIFA 12, NFL 12 as my gaming tends to towards sports and simulation type. Sure enough I kept playing X-Plane-4g-HDEF  or something like that which is a flight simulator that just blows your mind a way with realistic physics and tons of areas to fly and planes to chose.

I deleted the Temple Run then I reinstalled and I am again hooked. I deleted because a friend of mine told me I was kid. I thought the game was for kids and it proved me wrong when I tried the next time. It actually taught me that being happy and enjoying your life, perhaps sometime you need to be a kid. If your grandma or grandpa is playing this game, there is a reason why ? It’s fun – it makes you giggle. Are you stressed? It can actually give you relief at times. Enough said. There are probably thousands of pages out there with great reviews about this game.

Temple Run, has remained in Apple’s AppStore’s chart as #1 free game for 3 months now. It is not only because the game is simply and addictive, but it’s because of well over 400K reviews and ratings from everyone around the world who have enjoyed this game. Do I need to mention, how many downloads are there? OMG!

I know a game wins many hearts if controls are easy, objectives are simple yet challenging and repetitive game doesn’t mean it will be boring. Temple Run Rules because it’s simple in design and simple in game play. I bet you have already played and it perhaps landed here thinking if this post could offer anything useful. So, let’s get right to the point.

Help me, I want to upgrade the top 5 power-ups any idea which sequence would give me more coins ?

First–If you love the game, and you are not broke, in app purchase of $9.99 will give you enough coins to upgrade many of the top five power-ups and as you play you will enjoy the thought of “Bread and Butter For Developers who created your game, which is free for everyone and proving to us that a game could be for all ages yet highly addictive, fun, simple and it could be with us for a very long time. It will not matter if these are mine or your words, “did you already drive so far?”, for we know the driver is gonna take his or her turn when we arrive at home and I am telling my friend as I am playing this game. Time seems to fly by; with many games this is true, but with Temple Run, it’s 100% true. So, if you are wanting to play without spending a single dollar, here is how you can get more coins:

• Upgrade the COIN VALUES BAR FULLY
• Upgrade the BOOST halfway while upgrading MEGA COIN
• For other power ups, upgrade as you please, but keep in mind, more coins are on your path so go as far as you can – and even coins value triple is you can go beyond 2000M. Upgrade INVISIBILITY AND MAGNET power-ups  as you like because both have their advantage.

• Another tip? Well, Play the game as it was suppose to be played–You will want to play as it was designed at times, how far can you go and can you finish all the achievement called No Hungry for Money or something similar for going the distance 1000M ? Game gives you coin so much, that you tend to collect them all the time. For me, going 5000M was easier than actually going the distance 1000M without collecting a single coin. When you have enough coins, don’t  be afraid to try other characters, although they cost money, but since you have already upgraded all top five power-ups, money will come your way. Say if you have gone to a distance 3000 or 4000M, and a mega coin here and there showed up and you got it, you already have earned well over a thousand in coins in one single run !

• Highly addictive and insanely fun and easy to play! Be warned that your ratings and reviews will surely add more challenges and who knows what’s ahead if this App is to remain at the top chart for a long time,

• More Temple Maps, and I would love to see those monkey eat a banana or a banana trees somewhere, and more monkey eating banana somewhere and perhaps they throw some of the banna on the road so you actually slip to be caught by monkey behind you! I have not seen a single update, because the game as it is enough to please so many users, as of this date of writing, Temple Run has well over 400K ratings and reviews. Head to your App Store, Download and give it a try.
• Play game as it was designed to be played; go the distance; how far can you go ? — this actually helps you get a better score as your final score is related to coins collected and the distance you have ran.
• Try to beat other scores in global arena.
• Once all upgrades are done. Don’t think of yourself. Ok. I am done with this game. What should I do? The answer is – you are never done. Try using Single use power-ups such as boost to 2500M with your coin or resurrect with only 250 coins as single use power-ups. Remember the resurrect is 30 second; meaning if you double tap it and you have the wings that of an angel, you got 30 seconds for another life. The only reason you would want to use this is to practice, but for, best results, go as far as you can and when you know turning right and left is going to bring a death, then double tap it so you can be sure, you can be resurredcted and perhaps bit everyone else ? who knows ?
• A teenager about 15 years old, gives his phone to a friend to let him play. I thought this was a great idea. Suppose you are busy with your homework, give to your sister to play. She will be collecting coins for you, how about that?
• Before hitting that upgrade power-ups, see how much money you have. It’s our human nature to see low when coins suddenly drop to zero. I recommend that you can still have about two to three thousand coins even after hitting the top five upgrades, that way you will always feel like you still have coins and a few run would be enough to upgrade more. Motivating yourself this way can help.

Some serious questions but funny answers:

• On average, how long will it take me to finish all top five power-ups? : The answer is how you have done your upgrade and luck of the Mega Coins and how good you have become going the distance – are you able to reach 3000M ? You are probably not even reading this article. Try to keep your finger as close to the screen as possible and focus not on the character, but what’s ahead and swipe right or left to turn. The common mistake beginners make is to tilt their phone right or left hoping the character would move into that direction. Swipe is needed for this although, during run, you can move from the center to right or left on a single path just by titling your phone. Play for a week for about 2 hours a day, you will have enough coins to upgrade all top power-ups. That’s it.
• I am done with this game- should I delete it – you can if you want to, but how could you call yourself done ? Did you feel like a kid but still enjoying playing it ? This game is for everyone, period. Run, collect coins, go further, and unlock other characters and if you are the fan, you can also download wallpapers right on your device such as iPhone under the photo gallery.
• Help, I am collecting coins and doing power-ups but I keep on losing money and I don’t seem to be able to upgrade top power-ups : Well, did you read the word “Single Use” listed below some of the power-ups under the category “Utilities” ? Those are for one time use. I recommend that you finish upgrading the top five before doing anything else if you want a lot of coins to follow your way.
• I have never visited Temples, but why do monkey’s chase ? : Well in many Temples be it Hindus or Buddhist Temples or any other religions, offering of fruits is common during pray and monkeys love fruits specially banana. The idea behind the game is why not add a little bit of something to drag you, some character, if you stumble or hit an object or you started running slow ? For a temple, monkey fits perfectly and you are running away from these hungry banana. Although, I have no clue why they are chasing you, but I think you probably didn’t feed them well or you are hungry and you have a banana in your back pocket ! If you throw it, more monkeys will chase you. Just kidding. While visiting a temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, a women who had carried a bunches of fruits in one of her bag was crying and waiting for the monkey who took everything and could be seen up in a roof of a house. The monkey had carried her entire bag which contained purpose with some money. The locals did everything they could, there was a huge crowd all trying to help but in stall. Suddenly when the monkey ate one of the banana from the bag, he threw the entire content, purse, bags and other fruits as well and the lady walked home happy. So there is the answer to your question, why are monkey chasing people in a temple ? Well, they do it for fun sometime – for we humans have actually destroyed many of  the forests and they are finding it harder and harder to make their living and what better place to stay than in a temple area where you don’t even have to climb a banana tree ? Just snatch it from someone who has it only for himself. If you do share, be careful, lay it down somewhere a bit further away and they will take the banana and walk away.
• Help me, I am playing this game every day, every minutes. I just can’t put it down. Answer : well, well, well, I guess you are hooked, this is what’s called the drug game; highly addictive. Forgive me for the word drug there, but if you love to run and take part in the challenge of becoming the world’s fastest runner, there is no other better app. My answer to you is : Ok, so you can’t put it down. Rest for a while with other games than. There are games which are slightly similar in nature so give them a try and here they are : (a) Lane Splitter (b) Doodle Jump (c) Jump Pack (d) Fruit Ninja (e)  Ninja Fishing and for more, use the category feature of Games as found in your AppStore Browser. Still having problem putting it down, then Hit that SAFARI Internet browser Icon from Iphone or Ipad, then, type “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and before that, please check all the homework being done!

Have fun and always remember your ratings, reviews help developers do better – so don’t be shy, rate and give your reviews and sure enough, request what you would like to see in Temple Run 2.0 — perhaps the version in many of dreams!

For now, Eat, play, learn, grow and have fun. Enjoy your life. Everyone says the Temple Run is highly addictive. So, play responsibly.

for now, I gotta finish my banana – bye bye monkeys. This ain’t any more left. But I will be seeing you tomorrow during my break or when there is time.

My final thoughts : I think, Temple Run will take over your life !

Were you here for some cheats and ways to get around ? Well, I have a few bullets for you!

First of all, with the new version 1.4.1 on Iphone 4, you are not going to bankrupt the developers, believe it. There are tons of blogs, forums and even videos telling you can you gain all the coins and upgrading what not and everything…. well, not so. I hate cyndia and any other methods to jailbreak a phone–for don’t see it legal in my prospective. If this is who all the mobile devices were to go, where would the App market go ? How about developers ? If you love cyndia, that’s your choice. But without that, you won’t be rubbing Temple Run. But for fun, here is one you can do that will get you nothing but just a laugh.

RUN baby RUN

• Turn the Tutorial On.
• As soon as the screen says swipe right as you are near the corner, swipe twice as fast as you can. If you miss it, don’t worry, there will be another corner ahead, do it as fast as you can; swipe swipe and if your swiping is sloppy, do it like three times, swipe,swipe,swipe……. walla. You got got yourself a long run.
• Wondering if you gonna get any coins or mega coins along the way? FORGET ABOUT IT. It’s just fun.
• Will your score be added to the highs score? FORGET about it.

Before ending again with the cheats, many have confirmed it works on this or that like ipad2 or jail broken phone etc, but there are equally those who say, it’s not worth it except having a good time. Good  time? You wanna run for nothing ? Come on now. Eat that bread and think of the bread for developers out there.

Peace out. Cheats will always be there for any games, but for this one, as of this date of writing, you can only DREAM ON ! You may ask me why? Because it’s a good game and cheating (if it were to work anyways) would make this a horrible game. So, Temple RUN Stands out firm – a good game. Will be with us for a very long time. Can’t wait to see Version 2.0 with mind blowing graphics. Is it a rumor or am I am just reading a forum that’s talking about cheats again ? — Wake me up!
