Temple Run is the main game that popularized the 3D endless runner, yet many seem to ignore it in flavor of it’s more popular competitor, Subway Surfers. Today I’ll be going through the history of Imangi Studios, the company behind Temple Run, to find out what series of decisions have led to the current state of this beloved series.

Temple Run Classic is one of my top 5 favorite mobile games, but it’s a shame that not many updates are releasing for it anymore.
You should do what killed the fancy pants series
could you please rewiew we were here?
Most gamers played Temple Run…. I played Minion Rush
I love old mobile games. They make me feel very nostalgic and they are WAY more original and fun than the crap that we have today such as your average voodoo game or any other of those boring and unoriginal mobile games that only care about profit.
The best endless runner was the one Kellogg’s Krave one it was sooo goos
What a nostalgia bomb. I had all of the Temple run games as a kid… I remember loving Oz because of the different areas, and hating Brave.
Lol August 4th is no joke my birthday 🤣
I've played and loved both games but i agree i think temple run died because it was ignored, and subway surfers is preferred by lot's of people because it feels almost like it changed the way you play endless runners and has Endless updates
make a video about btdx
Legand has it if you sub to terror you get happy
one game: rail rush
Merry Christmas!
0:54 Are we forgetting those two subway surfers knockoffs that was officially licensed by Ronaldo?
Try taking a look at fancy pants
Used to play Temple Run 2 when I was younger.
About a year ago I got into it again, actually liked it and played actively… until the UI and progression rework.
Downgraded and used Play Games to sync the progress, but shortly after lost interest as being stuck on an old version isn't as fun as it lacks new events and maps, which they added.
best game 2022

You know, at our Chuck-E-Cheese, There is a Temple Run Arcade Version With A Ball thing.
I remember playing this game as a kid. But playing it again as a teen doesn't seem to be enjoyable anymore. Maybe because I played too many immersive games these past few years.
It's amazing that T3rr0r learns from other's people mistake to improve himself.
I remember playing temple run 2
I think it just RUNNED OUT of ideas xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
nobody ever talks about the real best mobile game. Hungry shark
Run
I remember long ago going onto the app store and being intimated by the unerving temple run logo. lol
When I was younger, my cousin introduced this to me and I tried to play it. But I got really scared of the Demon monkeys chasing you endlessly with no escape really scared me and I had nightmares for days
Idc I still play it I won't let it die it needs to live idc
Temple Run VR pretty good though.
2:56 anyone remember the name of this game?
ong
I’m still here…
Temple run: i used to rule the world
Terror they made some merch such as my demon monkey plush toy
Hey terror pls make a video about the most underrated mobile game franchise "dumb ways to die"
Nice video
you're underrated asf man
The funny thing is I only remember playing the Roblox and happy wheels versions of Temple run.
Fun times
Honestly never really digged Temple Run: Classic that much as a kid but I'd be damned if I didn't play the hell out of Temple Run 2. It was quite hell to obtain currency back then to unlock characters since microtransactions weren't that big of a thing (only later on they were added… sad), but I loved playing around ziplines, the tunnels and sliding through the river later on.
Good video overall, pinpointed exactly why Temple Run as a franchise kinda dropped. Subway Surfers ended up more enticing and it's still holding strong as we speak, while Temple Run (especially the original format) barely gets any updates if at all. Honestly they should've kept the momentum going with Temple Run 3 under a similar format or add a spin to it to make the players keep on playing.
I hope that you could end up covering Pou & the amount of other games trying to cash upon the format.
I think some things aren't meant to last forever, as is the case here.
Who Killed Temple Run
terror please you shjould do one on gameloft
