How to Play Temple Run 2

Temple Run 2 is based on the same concept as the first Temple Run but has some new elements added to the game. It's available on the App Store or the Google Play Store for free!

Playing The Game

1. Launch the game. After a few seconds of loading, the game’s intro page will finally appear. Here, you can either tinker with the game’s menu or start the game immediately.

2. Observe the layout. Temple Run 2 has a simple user interface, familiarize yourself with the buttons and other stuff on the screen before you make your first run. Believe me, once you start running – you won’t be able to look anywhere else except for the track ahead of you.

 3. Do the tutorial. Your run begins right at the very start of the game. Evil monkeys are after you so you better keep running! The objective of the game is to run away from the evil monkeys while avoiding obstacles along the way. There will be a short tutorial at the early start of your run so don’t worry.

The tutorial will teach you how to jump across gaps. This can be done by swiping your finger upwards across the screen.

To turn to either left or right, you just have to swipe the screen on the direction you want to turn.

You can also slide by swiping your screen downwards. This move is useful in going through low pathways.

You can also tilt your device so your runner can move either to the left, right, or center part of the way.

 4. Collect coins. If you see coins, tilt your phone to the directions where the coins are at. These coins are very important in improving your power-ups, performance, and other factors that will give you an advantage in running more efficiently in Temple Run 2. They can also be used to access some unlockables!

 5. Get that power-up. While running, you will eventually find power-ups along the way. Grab these power-ups if you have the chance for they will give you certain skills that will help you run further into the game. These power-ups are temporary so better take advantage of their effect while they last.

 6. Complete objectives. There are other objectives available in Temple Run 2 other than just collecting mileage in running. Satisfying objectives such as collecting gems, coins, and certain mileage will give you extra bonuses, too!

7. Try again. Since this game is primarily a game of collecting distance – it is safe to say that it does not have an ending. You will just keep on running and soon enough find yourself falling or bumping into a tree trunk. In short - it is game over. The game over screen gives you a couple of options.
