Subway Surfers (By Kiloo Games) [Universal]

Hmm. I had noticed something like that after the update but I thought it was just my impression or just bad luck. But I did notice that the 250 coin sacks appeared much more often now than before the update.

I also noticed that mystery boxes appear much more often than before. At first I would run into one every 15 runs or so. Now I run into them every 3-5 runs, sometimes in a row. Guess that's to balance it out?

I remember DBC saying he NEVER ran into mystery boxes, maybe he gets more coins per purchased mystery box?

Like I previously said, it might just be my impression. If anything was tweaked with the mystery boxes, only Kiloo could confirm.

I'm not too bothered by it though.

New update removes curves.

I'm not updating. haha. At least not until I get some impressions from other users who did update. Is the difference that noticeable?

It's funny you mention the vanishing/deleted tokens thing, I just noticed that last night... wasn't there some plan to roll the extras over somehow?

I never did really end up getting all that many Mystery Boxes, but I definitely didn't get any pay-outs that registered as significant, except I got 10 Hoverboards once!

Between the leaderboard/hoverboard thing and the dearth of MBs, I've pretty much bailed on the game at this point.

I still try the daily quests, but if I don't see a letter in my first 9-10 runs, that's pretty much it.

Love the gameplay and the controls are ridiculously well-done, but I just don't really have a reason to play at this point...

Knowing Kiloo and their work on other games, I suspect achievements/missions/other encouragements are forthcoming, at which point I'll likely become horribly addicted to the game again...

Anyhoo, good luck all!

This game is ridiculously addicting and fun but it has run its course. I have unlocked all the characters, reached all the achievements, maxed out the boosts, and unlocked all the trophies.

This game needs the following:
-new level design, as you progress further the background changes
-new characters only if they add different characteristics
-new boosts/upgrades
-new missions
-fix the mystery boxes (every time i get 100 coins, even after restarting my iPhone its becoming very annoying)

The removal of the curves does make the gameplay slightly different (sucks bc I just was getting used to the curves and reached a game with 5200 coins and a score of a 1 million + yesterday) but I think the game is more fair in terms of seeing whats in front of you and reacting when the track is not curved

I updated and I am happy.

Subway Surfers, among other great games is up for the Unity Awards 2012.

There are some great games in that category that I've played and liked a lot, but these is only one that I've enjoyed the most.

I’m wondering the same. And are the curves truly removed (track is always straight) or does the track simply always curve left again and never right?

(It has never been just straight, but it did used to always go left and seemingly people never noticed!)

I really like the curves; ideally left AND right because variety = interest! But at least a constant left curve would be better than pure straight. Straight would be more generic feeling, and would often give less warning of powerups coming up.

There's still track curving but it's minimal compared to the last update.

And I've never noticed the left curving until now. So yes, it still never seems to go right.
