Their is no need of intro for this game; everybody knows everything. In one line: Its an addiction. Its a great game to have its own Wikipedia page. Here, I try to explain (read: understand) myself that, why I liked the game (In a game developer's perspective. I came across this game while reviewing a fake game!)
Simplicity of the game begins with its title. I wouldn't have chosen the title Temple Run. Guess what? Crazy explorer, Mystic Idol.. so on. Here we have 'temple' and 'running', thus Temple Run; beautiful. Next time while naming a game, I wont look for a creative or an artistic name. Rule says, it must simple to remember and should bring a picture of the game in your mind.
Game icon really makes anybody to click on it (at-least when its available for free!)
1, 2, 3.. Go.

| 180° camera rotation, introduce you to 3D gaming. |
Power of iphone processor made 3d gaming a practical reality to the mobile world. Unity and other 3d game engines ready and running on handheld devices. This may be next of igames. For an indie developer, 3d may be little cumbersome (FYI : Unity cost $200). As you can seen on above screenshot, each run begins with the awesome camera rotation.
Basic concept behind the game is also powerful : Running. It is the right choice to make a endless game. That attraction, leads us to press the button 'Run Again' again and again! This endless games are perfect choice for a handheld device.
Streamlined design.
Look at the streamlined theme of the game which perfectly suites on portrait mode.

| I liked those demonic monkeys! |
 |
| And the invisibility! |
In the end: Run Again!
As of now, I have pressed on 'Run Again' button more than 500 times, still I not tired of running. Each run ends with a funny (scary?) conclusion, that motivated me to try again.
The game never force us to buy fullversion or buy more coins. If you want to go fast you can purchase coins.
