All the characters have different abilities and stats. One of the ways the game helps keep you coming back for more is through the huge number of unlockable characters available.
While there’s nothing game changing or overwhelmingly different from games like Temple Runner, it does have a few twists to make it more entertaining. The obstacles are also a step up from your average rock or bush, and include things like moving platforms and other mild challenges. The power ups themselves are somewhat unique, and include things like a ‘no crash’ hoverboard you can snag.
Without any complicated controls, it’s much easier to try daring moves to grab that extra power up. In order to move around you need to swipe left, right, up or down. One of the biggest areas is the simple navigation for Subway Surfers. Although there are many similarities, and some even call Subway Surfers a ripoff of it, it’s also clear that many areas of the game have been improved. Subway Surfers is often compared to Temple Run, a game that the developers, Kiloo, were inspired by.
