There are games available from a variety of genres ranging from puzzles like the Angry Birds
games to the like of Infinity Blade and Street Fighter that define
action games on the handheld platform. We have also seen shooters like
Wolfenstein
3D make an appearance on touchscreen devices.
But today, we are here to list a genre
of games that may be casual in nature but requires a lot of skill if you
want to make your name visible on the top of the leaderboards. The core
of these games is running.
You will don the role of a protagonist
who must run to save his life. Run from monkeys, run from a security
guard or just plain run to hit the high score. If you have remotely
heard of a game called Temple Run, you will understand what we are
talking about.
Temple Run
The first game on our list has to be
Temple Run. Not only is this the most famous game in this genre, but
also defines the running game genre. In the game, you've stolen the
cursed idol from a temple, and now you have to run for your life to
escape the evil demon monkeys nipping at your heels. The game tests your
reflexes as you race down ancient temple walls and along sheer cliffs.
Swipe to turn, jump and slide to avoid obstacles, collect coins and buy
power ups, unlock new characters, and see how far you can run!
The best part about this game is that it is free.
A sequel to the game too has been made
and it is based on the animated movie, Brave. The game costs Rs. 55 on
the Google Play store and $0.99 on the Apple app store. This version of
the game however is paid. You can still take a look at it below:
Line Runner
Line Runner is a side scrolling game
where your character is like a stick and you need to guide him through
obstacles in your path. In the game, gamers quickly jump over and roll
through obstacles, as fast and as far as they can. The motive of the
game is simple: try to beat other players' highscores on up to 10
different tracks.
The gameplay is fast paced, challenging and the difficulty increases as you move forward.
The game is free for Android but is paid on iOS ($0.99).
Subway surfers
A free game that is currently an iOS
exclusive, the game puts you in the shoes of Jake, who needs to escape
from a grumpy Inspector and his Pitbull dog. The game gives you access
to nifty gadgets such as a hoverboard, jetpacks and shoes that make you
jump higher.
The motive of the game is to swipe left
or right to avoid the train carts that are stationary and travelling
towards you as well as swipe up and down to jump over and roll under the
obstacles. The game is very colourful in its appearance. Gamers can
collect coins throughout the game to upgrade their skills and unlock new
playable characters.
