Temple run is a mobile game that gets the player running in one direction with the choice of turning left or right at certain opportunities. While your running you are able to pick up coins to add to your score. A big part of this game is reaching a high score for sharing and competing with friends. The player will also find power ups while running. These power ups will boost the players abilities allowing them to bypass obstacles and the speed they run. They player only has three dimensions to work with. The horizontal plane allows the player to move to the left right or stay central to the path.
Another feature present in temple run is the "special" bar. When this is filled by collecting coins the player receives a large amount of points. This encourages the player to collect the coins instead of leaving them to minimise risk.
Another danger that is always present in game are the "demon monkeys". As soon as you start three of these enemies are chasing you. the mechanics work so if you make a mistake, you will slow down and the monkeys will be 1 step closer to killing you. Making another mistake will result in game over. This insensitivities the fact that you must make as little mistakes as possible.
All these mechanics results in a game that makes the player focus very hard to avoid obstacles, enemies and collect essential power ups at the same time as collecting coins. As a result this game is very engaging and can result in some pretty intense game-play.
