| ==Gameplay== | |||
| ] | |||
| In ''Temple Run'', the player controls either Guy Dangerous, an average explorer, Scarlett Fox, an ], Barry Bones, a ] ], Karma Lee, the fastest runner in the ], Montana Smith, the "second greatest explorer ever" (referring to ] being the greatest explorer), Francisco Montoya, a Spanish conquistador, or Zack Wonder, a football star. The character chosen will embark on an adventure to seek an ancient and valuable golden ] from an Aztec temple. They will not realize that the temple is inhabited by a family of demonic ]s who wants to devour them. As the game is an endless running game, there is no end to the temple; the player plays until the character ]. | |||
| Jetpack Joyride | |||
| While the character is running, the player can swipe left or right to move the character to either side of the screen to collect coins and/or avoid obstacles. There are three types of coins to be found while the character is running: gold, red, and blue. A gold coin will only add one coin to the player's total number of coins. Red coins are worth two coins, while blue coins are worth three. The coins can be used to buy and then upgrade ]s and/or other characters. Coins can also be bought by the player through ]s with ]s of actual ]. When the player needs to turn left or right, the ] can be swiped in the corresponding direction. If the player wishes to jump over an object, the screen can be swiped upwards; if the player wishes to slide under an object, the screen can be swiped downwards. | |||

| ==Development== | |||
| ''Temple Run'' was designed, programmed, and produced by husband-and-wife team Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckyanova with art by Kiril Tchangov.<ref name="AboutImangi" /> The game took a total of four months to develop.<ref name="Keith-interview">{{cite web | url= https://www.gamespot.com/articles/temple-run-the-rough-road-to-a-runaway-success-story/1100-6368469/ | title= Temple Run: The Rough Road to a Runaway Success Story | website= ] | date= March 27, 2012 | access-date= February 14, 2019 | archive-date= February 15, 2019 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190215160037/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/temple-run-the-rough-road-to-a-runaway-success-story/1100-6368469/ | url-status= live }}</ref> Development began after the financial failure of Imangi Studio's previous game, ''Max Adventure'' and used that game to prototype Temple Run's controls. Imangi Studios wanted to make a quick game with simpler controls in contrast to ''Max Adventure'''s dual analog controls. | |||
| Keith started the prototype by making a game where the character is always running and can be controlled by rotating the environment from a top-down perspective. This idea was scrapped due to causing extreme dizziness during testing. To fix the problem, constraints were added so that players can only make 90° turns and perspective be fixed behind the character.<ref name="Natalia-interview">{{cite news | url=https://venturebeat.com/2012/02/06/temple-run-developer-shares-a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-making-a-runaway-hit-ios-game/ | title=Temple Run developer shares a behind the scenes look at making a runaway hit iOS game | work=] | date=February 6, 2012 | access-date=February 8, 2019 | archive-date=November 12, 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181112071533/https://venturebeat.com/2012/02/06/temple-run-developer-shares-a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-making-a-runaway-hit-ios-game/ | url-status=live }}</ref> When it came to the game's aesthetics, multiple ideas were conceptualized but ultimately settled for the character to running on a pathway resembling the ] or ]. | |||
| After the temple design was solidified, Imangi Studios questioned the player character's motivation for constantly running without any breaks and came up with the idea of having something chasing him. Imangi Studios originally had the aliens from ''Max Adventure'' as placeholders.<ref name="TR-Prototype">{{cite AV media | date = March 19, 2014 | title = GDC 2014: A Look At 'Temple Run' Prototypes as it Evolved From 'Max Adventure' | url = https://toucharcade.com/2011/06/07/wwdc-2011-temple-run-hands-on-preview-the-latest-from-imangi-studios/ | access-date = February 16, 2019 | publisher = TouchArcade}}</ref> Kiril created the design of evil demon monkeys and gave them skull masks due to his desire of adding skulls in games he's involved in.<ref name="Keith-interview" /> Natalia initially did not like having evil demon monkeys chasing the player character and found them terrifying. Keith and Kiril, however, liked the evil demon monkeys and convinced Natalia to remain in the final product. Natalia later admitted that they were right and that it added immediacy and adrenaline.<ref name="Natalia-interview" /> | |||
| The coin and gem mechanic was originally intended to be a variety of colored gems where the player would receive different bonuses depending on what combination of gems was obtained, similar to ] but was proven too difficult to achieve and was scrapped.<ref name="TR-Prototype" /> Natalia mentioned coins and Gems were particularly frustrating to add into the game that at one point were removed during development, but were added back due to the team missing them.<ref name="Natalia-interview" /> | |||

| ''Temple Run'' has been generally well-received amongst critics. The iOS version holds an aggregate score of 80 out of 100 on ] based on 10 reviews.<ref name="MC" /> Phillip Levin of ''148Apps'' praised the gameplay but criticizing the backgrounds; "my big qualm with ''Temple Run'' lies in the fact that the majority of the game's scenery looks the same. Yeah, the scenery does change here and there, but most of the time, gamers are running through ruined, temple pathways that look consistently the same. It all starts to blur together after a while."<ref name="148Apps" /> ''AppSpy''{{'s}} Andrew Nesvadba was more impressed, writing "''Temple Run'' tightens up and polishes the endless-runner for the ], giving players a unique and fun challenge that controls like a dream."<ref name="AppSpy" /> '']''{{'s}} Nissa Campbell praising its move away from the "one-button jumping control system" of most endless runners, as well as the game's ''milieu''; "Any endless runner worth the name will give you high-tension situations and that "one more time" compulsion. But ''Temple Run'' is probably the only one that also makes you feel like a daring archaeologist with a penchant for deadly situations."<ref name="TouchArcade" /> | |||
| '']''{{'s}} Art Green called it "an instant iPhone classic," and writing "addictive doesn't even accurately describe the game. Enthralling gameplay as the game speeds up. Objectives add goals that keep you playing."<ref name="Gamezebo" /> ''Slide to Play''{{'s}} Andrew Webster praised the upgrade system, 3D graphics, and controls, concluding "Even if you think you're sick of automatic runners, ''Temple Run'' proves there's still much life left in the genre. It matches the sheer thrill and intensity of '']'', but with a completely new theme and perspective. We've all wanted to be ] at some point, and now's your chance."<ref name="Slide" /> | |||
| '']''{{'s}} Justin Davis praised the game's depth and upgrade system, which he felt distinguished it from other endless runners, such as ''Canabalt'' and '']''. He concluded that "''Temple Run'' is a fast and frenzied iPhone experience. The combination of swiping and tilt controls give each session a frantic feeling Gamers craving a new iOS time waster should give ''Temple Run'' a long look."<ref name="IGN" /> | |||
