Introduction
Temple Run 2 is an endless running game developed and published by Imangi Studios. It is the sequel to the hugely popular Temple Run, released in 2011. Temple Run 2 builds on the original’s addictive gameplay with enhanced graphics, new obstacles, and diverse environments.
In Temple Run 2, you play as an adventurer who has stolen a cursed idol from an ancient temple. Pursued by a giant demonic creature (and sometimes other hazards), you must run, jump, slide, and turn to escape while collecting coins, power-ups, and gems along the way. The game features various characters, stunning landscapes like jungles, cliffs, mines, and waterfalls, and an ever-increasing difficulty that keeps players hooked.
