- [R107] Temple Run ai slop: ai slop ruined the game
- [R109] Temple Run Eh… adds. The annoying kind too: Game seems like it could be fun. I like the ps1/n64 style graphics, I accidentally fell in a pit so it ended my first run. Asked if I wanted to watch an add to keep going. I said no cause I just started my first run… then it takes me to an add anyway 🙄 and the annoying kind too that the x is had to find/missing then you click out of it and it launches the App Store
- [R110] Temple Run Review of temple run: I downloaded the app because of nostalgia but it’s not the same
- [R111] Temple Run Hyyyyy this was my: The only
- [R12] Lep's World Too many adds: There are so many adds as soon as I got it there was adds and also every level you complete(Or not)there are 2/3 adds on each add
- [R116] Temple Run A classic ruined by greed: The ad placement of this game is abysmal. Even if you pay to have them removed, you still get popups (that you cannot disable anywhere in settings) asking you to watch an ad for another life. Paired with how awful mobile ads have become nowadays, a single misclick on these popups (an easy mistake to make because of their lazy and poor design) now requires fully quitting
- [R118] Temple Run Ad: TO MANY ADS
