Temple Run Tips : Basics,Power-ups, Advanced
Every once in a while I run into an addictive iOS game that I just can’t stop playing. There was Angry Birds, Cut the rope, Civilization, Game Dev Story, Tiny Tower, Smurf Village (I played it until I unlocked Smurfette :-/ ) and now it’s Temple Run. It made my bathroom breaks a lot more entertaining (kidding! ). I just can’t put it down. It’s quite addictive and makes you want to play one more game so you can beat your high score. Currently, I’m at 2.9 5.7 mil and I don’t think I am going to beat it any sooner. I am sure the people on the leaderboard and exploiting a glitch. There is no way anyone can rack up 2 billion odd score in that game. Getting to 2 million was hard enough. So I thought I’d leave some tips here so you can benefit from my experience.
Basics: If you haven’t played the game before, I recommend you get it from the iTunes store. It’s free. The game is pretty simple and it starts with a tutorial so it’s not hard to play at all. You swipe up to jump, sideways to turn in the direction you want to turn and swipe down to slide under tree stumps and fire. That’s easy enough. There are coins to collect on the way and power-ups that make your life easy.
Power-ups:
Boost: This makes the game go into auto-pilot mode. The amount of distance this power-up stays active is dependent on how much you upgrade this in the store.
Invisibility: This makes you invisible and invulnerable to all the obstacles around you. But you do have to make all the turns when necessary.
Magnet: This lets you automatically collects all the gold coins as you go along without having to tilt the phone. With upgrades, it will last longer and doubles/triples the value of the collected gold coins.
Mega Coin: You get 100 gold coins and with full upgrade you can get up to 150 coins. These gold coins can help you buy upgrades.
Advanced:
Once you master the basics, you need to make sure you start using the gold coins to upgrade your power-ups.
Start with upgrading the magnet. A fully upgraded magnet not only lasts longer, but it also triples the value of gold coins. This means you’ll be collecting all the gold coins in your way and also racking up points from the triple valued gold coins.
Upgrade the coin values next. This means that you’ll have a better chance of getting double value coins after 1000m and triple value coins after 2000m.
After that I suggest upgrading invisibility and boost. These will basically increase the amount of time the power-ups will last.
Finally, upgrade the Mega Coin. It will only increase the number of gold coins by 50 but it’s something to use your gold coins on once you have everything.
Get some angel wings as this will help you resurrect once you’re dead. The power lasts only 30 seconds after you’ve activated it. You can use another angel wing after another 1000 m.
That’s all I can remember for now. Hopefully this will help you make a new score and help you understand the system better. Good luck and happy running.
