What endless running games have you played, and which ones do you like the most? What is different about them? Some I have on my device: Juky - nice graphics, but nothing else. Go Go Gadget - kids love it. Unlock some special abilities and areas Canabalt - not much to it Air Supply - unlock different modes, music, and perhaps other things. Monster Dash - different backgrounds and weapons, different achievements and sayings to unlock make this game a bit funner Temple Run - extreme paced 3D with some different power ups Stylish Sprint - interesting. Different objectives unlock different power ups/costumes and backgrounds Requiem - keep forgetting about this one so haven't played it much. 3d first person runner that is really fast paced, and later levels get pretty intense. Looking forward to Jetpack Joyride! Maybe technically not an endless runner, more like an endless flyer - with so much unlockable content. Hm, there was another one coming out soon too (or recently came out) that looked interesting, but I can't remember the name right now.
My personal favorite is Temple Run. I like it because there's lots of awesome powerups, great controls, sweet graphics, and (most important) it's all around fun, even after I've unlocked all the upgrades. It adds elements not normally seen into 3d and it worked perfectly. There's also enough variety that it doesn't get old fast. I also own Canabalt, Tiny Wings (if you call it an endless runner), Paper Cut, Air Supply, and a few others...
Never heard of Paper Cut so I will check it out. I am sure some would wznt to include the Hook Champ series in this. Three games with a lot of unlocks based on how fast you can swing, run, etc. There are endless modes in the game. Prince Penny was free last week. Decent 3D type runner, but it might get old fast as there are no unlockables or other modes. Chop Chop Runner. Another by the same company that is quite fun and may fit this genre: Chop Chop Kicker - some unlockables. See how far you can kick a dinosaur. Donut Games has three: Action Hero and Action Buggy - pretty basic gameplay, not much to them. But Rat On A Skateboard has several endless skating modes and is one of my favourite games, trying to see how far you can go, doing tricks and avoiding dangers.
Papercut! is currently free, not sure if it's permanent or not though. That Prince Penny one looks interesting actually, who knows maybe it'll go free again . But I have to agree on Rat on a Skateboard. I got it when it was free (one of my best freebies ever! I just grabbed it when i was new to iOS and half the games i got back then were junk, lol). RoaS is one of my favorite games.
Here are some good endless style movement that might not get much mention otherwise; not sure if you're just looking for "runners" but hope this helps: Zombie Glider - a flying gliding game with a high level of upgrade customization and some detailed level work (skim the ground and pick off townsfolk or fly to the stars). Mower Rider - a bumper car style top down game involving sporadic enemy lawn mowers and multiple power-ups. Mr. Ninja - an endless jumping game; jump at the right angle to collect starts and land on next platform. Requires some precision and can be more methodical than most endless games. Gravity Hook - an endless climbing game from Canabalt developers; good use of gravity physics. Cuddle Bears - a limited but polished endless runner where you hop on pink bears to avoid being hugged while a black boar chases you. Angry Rhino Rampage - also limited but franticly paced endless poacher revenge game. Line Surfer - a fun game similar to Tiny Birds with some good physics/ragdoll qualities.

Temple run is awesome! If you want a twist you can try Hook Worlds. It's more like an endless grappling hooker (yeah sounds kinda funny) but it's pretty fun. If you want more unlockables Super Quick Hook has two endless modes (Avalanche, and Eruption). You can buy a ton of equipment/random stuff in the shop with ingame money earned by playing levels
Temple Run is a good 3d take on the endless runner Monster Dash is petty cool, I do like the changing scenery to mix it up a bit Mr Ninja, just keeps me coming back for more. Probably my favorite thus far And definitely Canabalt!
Hola! We're developing DRWAPS so I thought I'd say a little something. From a style point of view, we're trying to give it a retro-futuristic and humoristic direction. It should be one of the most intense and exhilarating runner out there! It will have a lot of content too, story mode, boss fights, skills upgrades, etc. Hopefully the game will be out this October. The 'upcoming' thread can be found here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=105383&highlight=plasma+sword About other runners, it is hard to come up with an exhausting list, since there's so many of them. But here's a few other interesting ones: - Robot Unicorn attack (simple but addictive) - Gravity Runner (nice story mode although has no endless mode) - I must run (might be still free) - Run! (an old one but fun one) - Lame Castle (funny thematic) - Grim Jogger (interesting gameplay twist) - Dino Rush (cute and has a gameplay twist as well) - Gravity Guy (nice graphics, has lots of similarities with Grav. Run.)
Before Tiny Wings and Jetpack Joyride, I absolutely despised endless runners, mostly because the only ones that I had played were so one dimensional and god awful that they had more or less put me off the entire genre. Probably gonna try Temple Run, because it has got good reviews and I haven't yet played a 3d endless runner.
