Temple Run 2 is an endless running video game developed and published by Imangi Studios. A sequel to the original game, the game was produced, designed and programmed by husband and wife team Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckyanova, with art by Kiril Tchangov. It was released on the App Store on January 17, 2013, on Google Play on January 24, and on Windows Phone 8 on December 20.
As of June 2014, Temple Run 2 and its predecessor have been downloaded over 1 billion times.
Temple Run 2 features the same controls as its predecessor. However, the gameplay itself is slightly different insofar as it introduces new obstacles, such as zip-lines, mine tracks, sharper turns, waterfalls, and jets of fire. The game also features new power-ups, and players now have the ability to save the protagonist from death by using green gems that are collected while running, or purchased online. The game is set in a different location than the first game, and the main character runs faster. The three monkeys that chased the character in the original game have been eliminated. Now, a singular enlarged monkey called Cuchanck is the sole antagonist.
Upon the initial release, there were four characters available for play, but that has been increased to twenty-seven as of 2016:
In August 2013, Usain Bolt was made available for purchase for a limited-time, though this was later made permanent. In December, Santa Claus was made available for purchase, only for a limited-time. The December 2013 update also included water slides, an unlockable Santa hat for each of the main characters, collectible artifacts such as masks, and a "Christmas progress" chart. For December 2015, a new game environment called "Frozen Shadows" was introduced. It is depicted as a frigid, snow laden landscape. The update also introduced alternate winter outfits for Guy Dangerous and Scarlett Fox. On June 1, 2016, another environment called "Blazing Sands", based on Egyptian temples and craggy canyons was introduced. On September 10, 2016, a new feature called Global Challenges was introduced. The first Global Challenge was a coin collection challenge. The subsequent Global Challenge was a meter-distance challenge. On March 29, 2017, a new environment, "Lost Jungle," which includes large trees, snakes, Venus flytraps and a Hindu temple, made its debut.
