It's built on top of our in-house 3D engine, which is pretty limited and requires a lot of coding on our end to make any changes. Under the hood, the game was completely re-written from scratch and it's now in much better shape to allow us to continue adding more to it over time." Natalia Luckyanova added "Once it became so popular, there was a ton we wanted to do to Temple Run but it really wasn't built for expansion.

Imangi Studios stated that the main goal of the game was to make the gameplay similar and familiar to the original while introducing new elements and creating a "redeveloped experience." According to Keith Shepherd, "Our biggest reason for doing the sequel instead of an update is that we just weren't going to be able to make these changes to the original.
The development of Temple Run 2 began in March 2012. In October, several National Football League players were made available for purchase for a limited time. On September 9, 2014, the character Maria Selva was released as part of a promotion with National Geographic Kids books. In December, Santa Claus was made available for purchase, only for a limited time. In August 2013, Usain Bolt was made available for purchase for a limited time, though this was later made permanent. This requirement was later dropped in an update on April 20, 2022, in support of gender equality, allowing people to play as the character immediately upon downloading the game. In early versions of the game, Scarlett Fox had to be purchased with coins. The initial release featured Guy Dangerous as the default character, with Scarlett Fox, Barry Bones and Karma Lee being unlockable. Now, a single large monkey called Cuchank is the sole antagonist. The three monkeys that chased the character in the original game have been eliminated.
The game is set in a different location than the first game, and the main character runs faster. Players can save the protagonist from death by using green gems that are collected while running, or purchased online. The game also features new power-ups, whose use is typically governed by an energy bar that is filled up by collecting coins. However, the gameplay itself is slightly different insofar as it introduces new obstacles, such as zip-lines, mine tracks, sharper turns, waterfalls, and jets of fire. The app is one of many "endless running" type games like Rail Rush and Pitfall, but Temple Run now has the edge with the swift-footed superstar who is apparently well adept at leaping over flames and diving under arbitrarily placed tree limbs.Temple Run 2 features the same controls as its predecessor. Really, the charm is just seeing Bolt tackle a ridiculous obstacle course, and we will take it. It seems that the character is just as fast as any other with the obvious addition of multiple power-ups you can gain along the way. Now, you might be thinking that Bolt in this particular game would be akin to Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl: An unstoppable force that makes the game a breeze.
Q: Do you play the game and on what device(s)? A: I have a few different types of mobile handsets and Temple Run is on them all.
And it makes you feel you can run forever while skipping over and under all the various obstacles. Q: What's it about Temple Run that makes it addictive? A: For me I think its just simple, fun and energetic. Q: How did you get connected with the Temple Run developers? A: Imangi contacted my team about being a unique character in the game. USA Today actually received word from Bolt via email on his involvement and how he came to be the first real-life personality to offer his likeness to the game.Īpparently, we have your incessant tweets to thank: " People always tweeted at me and told me what a great fit my character would be in Temple Run, so finally seeing myself in the game is epic."īolt goes on to say he is a huge Call of Duty gamer, but Temple Run is on heavy rotation on all of his devices. Still, having Bolt was enough to steal some time from ongoing Dots gaming, so our initial thought is this was a genius move-at least as far as this writer's smartphone is concerned.
