It’s all Temple Run, all the time in this week’s Android charts, as the launch of the smash-hit sequel brings all three games in the franchise into the spotlight. I wonder if Imangi Studios’ other games ever get jealous.
They make other games, you know. Remember Max Adventure, the dual-stick shooter about a kid saving his neighborhood from aliens? Man, that was a great game. Perhaps a little too arcade-y for the casual player, but when you have a trio of games downloaded several hundred million times generating a ton of in-app purchase revenue you can make whatever game you damn well please. Must be nice!
Seventeen games on this week’s chart are not Temple Run. Can you find them all?
