While we may not today be basking in the glow of Imangi Studios' sequel to their smash hit Temple Run like our iOS friends, we shall not be waiting long. British newspaper, The Guardian, ran a lengthy interview with the developers, and garnered a release date for the Android version of Temple Run 2. One week from today, Thursday Jan. 24.
Earlier this month the iOS boys in the US got treated to this game before the Droid boys. The game was released to iOS because most iOS devices carry lower hardware in terms of processor and ram in comparison to the main Droid devices. After releasing to the iOS family to ensure that the game had no issues, it is now ready to be released on the higher end / higher spec'd devices.
Temple Run 2 looks on the face of it a lot like its predecessor. After all, it's still an endless runner. But, Temple Run 2 has more aspects to the game this time around in that you pilot a runaway mine cart, running isn't just straight lines, and you get to slide down zipwires. There's also an in-app purchase available of a coin-doubler, and what looks like a power up for some crazy fast running. We'll naturally be giving Temple Run 2 the once over next week when it launches in Google Play, but for now, we'll make do with the official launch trailer.
My iPod lags so badly. Can't wait any longer for the Android release. From what I managed to play on my iPod before constant crashing, it's a massive improvement.
It's not even funny.
