Shameless Temple Run Clone
It is blatantly obvious that this app is a rip off of the popular game Temple Run. From the app icon and title, to the actual gameplay, the developers didn't try too hard to come up with any original ideas. Temple Run is definitely way better than this in terms of originality, graphics, and content. On top of that, Temple Run is free while Stickman Run is not. Do yourself a favor and don't get this game. With the dubious screen shots, the game seems to be fake and possibly malware. To be cautious, I started the game while in airplane mode but found out there actually is a legit game to play. I still never turned off airplane mode until I uninstalled the game because I was paranoid since the game just didn't feel right. It plays just like Temple Run, where you follow your character in 3rd person view as he runs through a randomly generated track filed with coins and obstacles. Swipe up to jump, swipe down to slide, swipe left or right to turn left or right, and tilt your phone to shift around on the track. There are also powerups to help your progress. The game plays smooth and the controls work alright. The level actually looks kinda cool with 3D objects and daytime/nighttime cycles. However the techno(?) music is loud, repetitive and annoying, the graphics are plain with little detail, and I don't know what the progress bar at the top does or what is the purpose of collecting coins. You can't spend them and you don't keep them. Otherwise it is a limited but functioning game clone of Temple Run. But seriously at $1.29 for a weak knockoff of a much superior game, don't bother.
