I loved OZ because of the fireworks ability. Made 10 year old me feel like I had superpowers shooting those flying creatures out of the sky. The hot air balloon part of the game was also pretty memorable
Lmao XD same TBH My first ever Temple Run game was Brave, and it was...not my best experience to say in the least. Then I played Temple Run Oz and loved it and started actively seeking out Temple Run games
They could have made it more competitive by letting players run together. One who runs longest wins. Players can use power ups against each other and use it on themselves to counter attacks. That would be fun
@Safwaan that's why it's better. plus i like the overall concept and design for it, and the controls feel smoother. it's kind of tiring for me to tilt my phone every now and then, and i can play the game while laying down on my sides
@@drfm16 remember playing temple run 2 during elementary school a lot Edit: I love subway surfers though temple run and subway surfers are 10 times better than today mobile games
i remember playing Temple Run: Oz when i was so little,and its sad that now we can't relive that experience,that path in the Oz version is such a classic
When I think of Temple Run I think of the time where one of the most impressive apps was one that made it look like you are drinking a beer out of your phone.
@@Birbzz pfft IDR what the name was. I'm sure there are like 30+ of them now. It was early days of the iPhone and Apple store. It used your phones gyroscope or something like that to know how to mimic the fluid. I also remember one that looked like a bowl that used the mic and when you sucked in the bud would burn up more.
Anyone remember vector? It was also a 2d runner with a basic black silhouette ascetic. The story seems to be about a man (presumably named vector) escaping an office building focused on removing free will, throughout the game you escape the organization through (surprisingly fluid) parkour.
Sky Summit will forever have a special place in my artistic brain because that vibe was impeccable. The stunning above cloud mountain peaks and floating rocks, the random forests and the music were so special to me as a child, probably one of the reasons why i draw these types of landscapes now as an artist
5:00 Temple Tun 2 is one of my all time favorite mobile games! My favorite part is collecting the artifacts and reading the descriptions of them. I still have my old android phone with it because I’ve completed all the challenges and stuff on it. It’s still a fun game to come back to every once in a while and play a round for fun. Plus it’s one of only games I have besides Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 I’m an OG player in.
Temple Run is one of my favourite games of all time! I like the concept of running endlessly from the big monke. Anyways it’s nice that people are talking about this game.
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.
I remember how obsessed I used to be that time, being a gullible boy. My cousin somehow convinced that she saw an ending 😂 and her description was pretty goofy So, at the end, character is offered water. Than water is drank and the character is killed. Weirdd
@@jonathanSpg on Android, you uninstall the game and side-load version 1.80.0, which you can get from Apkmirror. YT comments are not the place to explain in more detail, also, if you are on iOS, you're out of luck.
Why is it that T3rr0rs upload schedule is one of the best upload schedule. Even though he uploads every like 5 days Im still excited to see the new video.
I remember playing temple run as a kid, but when I found out about subway surfers, I got hooked on that instead, I don't play both now but I have a special place for them in my heart
I loved temple run, but I think I started playing subway surfers more when I realized that surfers was safer to play in a moving car because it was swipe instead of tilt
@@EmiStar070 Very true , Subway Surfer can be played on actual subway . It's best for people who are in bus or vehicle ( as long as you are not driving the said vehicle.. )
I remember playing subway surfers and there was a kid at a holiday club telling everyone if you survive for 5 (or 10 i dont remember) minutes you can complete level 1 lmao
I honestly want like a serious narrative temple run movie or game. Imagine in the movie Guy just found some treasure, then Guy hears stomping. We see the temple run animals and the audience pops like Tobey Maguire’s entrance in No Way Home as Guy starts running.
I was already in college when the mobile game craze first started around 2010/2011. I’m not really in the age demographic of this era of mobile games but Temple Run was one of the few that I actually played from time to time. It’s crazy that it has already been over a decade since then.
@@Great_WesternTVFan Or more , I was 16 when I got to play mind even now 23 but still one of best games , it's not same feels to me but subway surfer or tom gold run still best for travel in bus ( traffic jam counter ) or even when just waiting in long lines. Social media alternative / doomscroll alternative.
My sister and I used to be so addicted to Temple Run back when it was new and we'd be arguing over the family iPad. I prefer Temple Run that time over Subway Surfers because of the gyro mechanics and the Indian Jones style. It hurts to see it die because it's got some potential, especially to lore. Temple Run is such a great game but guess I gotta accept the fate.
5:56 My boy wolfman with his ungodly drip. I enjoyed temple run a lot, the first game I had in the series was the sequel, there was this map called Sky Summit. I remember trying to jump to the floating islands to get away from the monkey, not realizing they were part of the background.
i remeber my dad practically downloading almost all endless running games on his iPad and i use to play them all until the battery drained (i was a kid back then) and my mom loves playing temple run bcz she used to play it very often with me and it make me nostalgic thinkin abt playin those games ,, and even temple run in real life as well i loved it but sad to see clone endless running games goin popular but they are indeed unique in their own ways [subway surfers , tom gold run (and tom hero dash) bcz they hv their own og characters as well as their series]
Even though I’m a long time subway surfers fan. I also liked playing temple run 2 as a kid. I thought it was really fun. I also played the 1st game. Even though it’s good and I enjoyed it. I prefer the 2nd. I even played the temple run arcade machine (Yes. There’s a temple run arcade machine) at London one time and really liked it. But I was always into subway surfers more growing up cause of well. The endless updates & the goofier game. You also can’t forget about the theme. Both games I enjoy growing up, But subway surfers is better imo. I hope Guy dangerous can run back up to popularity again tho. Very good video & I really enjoy them.
For me, Imanji should work on to a game that has story. I mean temple run should have a sequel that is not focused more on running but a little of backstory why the beast following him/her. If that happens, people that love it before will comeback to play it again. Anyway, that is only my opinion. Overall it is a legendary game that build our chilhood awesome and memorable. 💚
I love your videos, all the goofy ahh edits and sounds here and there make them a blast to watch, even if I find the topic sometimes a little boring, please never stop making them!
I remember playing temple run as a early teen. I did not own a phone at the time, but a friend from school did, and i literally used to hoard the phone for an hour playing and trying to break my high score. Great times.
Oh yeah, i remember playing this game and a few sequels 6-8 years ago... i must admit, entire series has it's own athmosphere and mechanics, which is really stands out after all endless runners. It was fun playing back in the day.
Not sure if this was an issue with just my phone or the app itself but I remember having Temple Run, playing religiously, accomplishing all the achievements, maxing out the highest speed, air time, etc. And a few months later once it seemed like I was close to achieving everything the game had to offer, the game would spontaneously reset itself as if I deleted the app. I would have to start at the same slow speed and work my way up to the top. After the fifth time of the game crashing, I switched over to Subway Surfers where I can run as fast as I'd like without having to work for it, and without fear of the game crashing and losing all my progress and accomplishments.
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 love revisiting old games I played as a child. It is also weird how Imangi branched out so much that even though they still have the Temple Run title attached, the new games are anything but running.
Me and my best friend(now my gf) used to play this game all the time when we were little.Our favorite thing to do, was start the game at the same time then race.
I actually used to play temple run and then I did play the brave version and I just got hit with flashbacks to the disney themed games I used to play during that time. 😭I was gonna skip this video but I think now Imma watch this playlist all the way thru.
Minion rush lost popularity because of the 2018 5th Anniversary update,if they never did that update i think that minion rush would have been more popular than now
I remember playing minion rush a SERIOUSLY long time ago and when I tired it again a few months ago the ui and everything was different and I was overwhelmed with buttons that I had no idea did.
@@monkeyace2234 Each design frames the main gameplay loop differently. The original was much like Subway Surfers where basically the entire point is to run. There second was almost entirely goal based and had linear progression ("levels"). The current one is also mostly goal based, but you have a variety of options for challenges to complete at any given time, so it's not entirely linear.
No but I think we're overlooking the soundtrack for Subway Surfers. They change it every update (but if you like another Soundtrack, then you can just change it in the settings) and they are always a BANGER!!!!!
I still have the evil demon monkeys as my wallpaper and still play the original, because this (along with plants vs zombies) are some of the most important games in my childhood and idk if I can ever forget about them Something interesting is how this also relates to another game I've spent way too much time playing, TF2, which is also criticized for having extremely few updates compared to its rival, Overwatch
I've basically played most of spinoffs of temple run including temple run itself. The games i played were •Temple run oz •That girl who likes to shoot bows and has an animated movie temple run •Socic •Subway surfers •temple run 2 and the other temple run franchise games Their are probably many that i forgot to mention but still those were the times man.
I loved it, could get to 2-5 million easily years ago. I download it yesterday and couldn’t even make it to million. Seems like they reworked the game to make the character run faster to the point it’s a bit nauseating. And every time you died you are offered an ad to keep going. Nothing wrong with that but it takes the fun away when you can just opt out for an ad to continue instead of starting over and struggle lol
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.
Me too I also played Temple Run as well too 1 and 2 and it’s a real same and keep in mind that this is also Cut The Rope, Jetpack Joyride, Angry Birds, Clash Of Clans/ Royal, Plants vs Zombies, etc!
“Most people only played the first game” meanwhile the 2nd game was far more successful and memorable than the 1st and is the one they continuously update
I remember playing Temple Run in high school, 2011 would be 10th grade. Then I switches to playing Subway Surfer when it came out and never went back. My friends son was just playing Subway Surfer on his phone recently, I was like “people still play this”.
Subway Surfers is also used as a meme for many videos, which is FREE advertising at its best. Pretty much a reason why it is a success and also because kids like its style a lot more (and so do adults whatsoever).
I used to want Temple Run and Temple Run 2, but the demon monkeys were scary for little kid me. I think I shifted to Subway Surfers, and while sometimes I get bored of that game, I still find it fun almost a decade later.
A lot of mobile games don't last long. More than likely people just got bored and went for something else. It's not like the game was deep and had crazy insane world breaking graphics.
Honestly, of all the temple run games I played, I LOVED Temple Run Oz!. It had so much more characters, depth and magical elements to it, like the hot air balloons, crystals, water fountains, etc. Sad to hear it has been removed.
I played Subway Surfers back in 2012/13 and I unlocked most of the characters but when I switch phones I saw that my progress saw saved on the phone and there was no cloud saves. So I stopped playing after that, I can't be bothered to play all over again and collect those characters again.
Imagine Disney partnered again with Imangi to make Temple Run based on the latest movie about Indiana Jones who actually inspired this genre of adventure. The only problem is 80-years old Indy is not fast enough for the game
Canabalt somehow reminded me of a game my brother introduced to me when i was young. I can't remember how it really looks like but it has the same gameplay and feeling to it like canabalt does, I don't know if I remember correctly but I think the main character of that game is a bunny, maybe to appeal more to children. I just woke up that time and my brother and cousin came to me saying they found a game for me to play, I remember it having a cartoon-ish icon so I agreed. The character jump from building to building, collecting coins... Until I miss a jump and a scary image showed up. I didn't notice it at first but when my brother handed me the phone, he never let go probably because he knew I'd get so scared I'll throw his phone. I didn't cry after that but i did catch a fever. That game was shown to me the same time the crack on screen apps were popular. It's been years and I still can't find that game nor it's name. I've been searching for years but none shows up.
Both Subway Surfers and Temple Run 2 are nostalgia bombs , I almost shed a tear remembering the good times playing them on my Next Turbo trying to beat all of my Facebook friends. Good times
I remember playing Temple Run back in elementary school with my friends, without a care in the world... good times :)

They could have made it more competitive by letting players run together. One who runs longest wins. Players can use power ups against each other and use it on themselves to counter attacks. That would be fun

I LOVE Temple Run classic. It is so fun!! please keep making these!!!😍
I used to play temple run all day. It's sad to see it fade away I mean they should have added some new updates or at least another sequel
Man, when I was shopping for my first smartphone in high school, my only criterion was that it had to be able to run Temple Run smoothly
I still have the evil demon monkeys as my wallpaper and still play the original, because this (along with plants vs zombies) are some of the most important games in my childhood and idk if I can ever forget about them
Something interesting is how this also relates to another game I've spent way too much time playing, TF2, which is also criticized for having extremely few updates compared to its rival, Overwatch
I remember when there were plans for temple run movie
5:00 MF DOOM Doomsday
Respect+
was looking for this comment
The Masked Villain lives on. It's so nice hearing unexpected DOOM.
I've basically played most of spinoffs of temple run including temple run itself.
The games i played were
•Temple run oz
•That girl who likes to shoot bows and has an animated movie temple run
•Socic
•Subway surfers
•temple run 2 and the other temple run franchise games
Their are probably many that i forgot to mention but still those were the times man.
Since I Was a Little Kid Until Now, Temple Run Is Still My Favorite Endless Running Mobile Game 🎮 ❤️
I was just thinking about this the other day... Ad companies reading my thoughts now.
I loved it, could get to 2-5 million easily years ago. I download it yesterday and couldn’t even make it to million. Seems like they reworked the game to make the character run faster to the point it’s a bit nauseating. And every time you died you are offered an ad to keep going. Nothing wrong with that but it takes the fun away when you can just opt out for an ad to continue instead of starting over and struggle lol
Remember when these games didnt have ads…those were times
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.
Sadly the original temple run isnt available on Google play store or Apple playstore.
The new updates on temple run 2 in 2021 made things look ugly and confusing too.
Me too I also played Temple Run as well too 1 and 2 and it’s a real same and keep in mind that this is also Cut The Rope, Jetpack Joyride, Angry Birds, Clash Of Clans/ Royal, Plants vs Zombies, etc!
Bubble popping and match 3: Am I a joke to you?
I associate them more with Facebook/PC games than mobile, although they’ve become mobile games over time.
idk why but just your channel is so good
1:35 wth is this 💀
In my opinion subway surfers perfected the genre to a crazy peak endless runner can't get any better
“Most people only played the first game” meanwhile the 2nd game was far more successful and memorable than the 1st and is the one they continuously update
Great video and nice yt channel
0:16 anyone knows this game name?

Nice video
I think some things aren't meant to last forever, as is the case here.
I remember playing Temple Run in high school, 2011 would be 10th grade.
Then I switches to playing Subway Surfer when it came out and never went back. My friends son was just playing Subway Surfer on his phone recently, I was like “people still play this”.
Well that.... didn't age well 4:51
Frr
I never knew temple run started it all and great video man :]
Subway Surfers is also used as a meme for many videos, which is FREE advertising at its best. Pretty much a reason why it is a success and also because kids like its style a lot more (and so do adults whatsoever).
6:16 swapping out the music when it finally got to the good part :(
I used to want Temple Run and Temple Run 2, but the demon monkeys were scary for little kid me. I think I shifted to Subway Surfers, and while sometimes I get bored of that game, I still find it fun almost a decade later.
Same, though I think I prefer sidescrollers like Jump Skunk.
That Agent dash name drop got me good lol. That's some nice nostalgia
You should talk about Tomb Of The Mask, and how it's underrated.
I saw the adds and it didn't look half bad
@@monkeyace2234 I play it, and it's really fun, the only problem is the add problem but just turn off your wifi.
A lot of mobile games don't last long. More than likely people just got bored and went for something else. It's not like the game was deep and had crazy insane world breaking graphics.
Honestly, of all the temple run games I played, I LOVED Temple Run Oz!. It had so much more characters, depth and magical elements to it, like the hot air balloons, crystals, water fountains, etc. Sad to hear it has been removed.
8 love these videos where you look at mobile games's history
8:28 brutal swing
I grew up with Timple run and 2 they are certified hood classics.
I played Subway Surfers back in 2012/13 and I unlocked most of the characters but when I switch phones I saw that my progress saw saved on the phone and there was no cloud saves. So I stopped playing after that, I can't be bothered to play all over again and collect those characters again.
As a person who loves temple run and dislikes subway surfers, i can say that i barely see people talking about this legendary game.
Why don’t you like subway surfers?
Yeah! Why don't you like Subway Surfers!? Answer the guy
@@1366Erik I just think its cheap, overrated and quite frankly has very low detail
Based take
@@SwagLord4444 Thank you swag lord
Imagine Disney partnered again with Imangi to make Temple Run based on the latest movie about Indiana Jones who actually inspired this genre of adventure. The only problem is 80-years old Indy is not fast enough for the game
Ah yes the nostalgia runny game
0:54 Are we forgetting those two subway surfers knockoffs that was officially licensed by Ronaldo?
Who from gen z got a nostalga rush
Canabalt somehow reminded me of a game my brother introduced to me when i was young. I can't remember how it really looks like but it has the same gameplay and feeling to it like canabalt does, I don't know if I remember correctly but I think the main character of that game is a bunny, maybe to appeal more to children. I just woke up that time and my brother and cousin came to me saying they found a game for me to play, I remember it having a cartoon-ish icon so I agreed. The character jump from building to building, collecting coins... Until I miss a jump and a scary image showed up. I didn't notice it at first but when my brother handed me the phone, he never let go probably because he knew I'd get so scared I'll throw his phone. I didn't cry after that but i did catch a fever.
That game was shown to me the same time the crack on screen apps were popular. It's been years and I still can't find that game nor it's name. I've been searching for years but none shows up.
temple run couldve had a great story couldve had alot of chances to make a kind of rpg or moba of some sort
Oh Man what a trip to nostalgia this is
Both Subway Surfers and Temple Run 2 are nostalgia bombs , I almost shed a tear remembering the good times playing them on my Next Turbo trying to beat all of my Facebook friends.
Good times
Great Video!
The fact that I still remember playing it and watching the annoying orange playing too makes me feel more than old 😂😂
Temple run oz was my most favorite series. I will download it, if they launch it now...
