Dont forget Axon Runners

These 5 are the best behind the back runners as of today.

The game's stellar, but the FB felt a little too intrusive.
WoOt? Facebook Leaderboards? Change them to game centre asap

But the scores were also posted to game center so we don't need to log into facebook?!

There is a GameCenter leaderboard, but it's tucked away with the Facebook one featuring prominently. I just flat-out refuse to sign in with FB (which I don't use anyway ).


As for the game itself... It's pretty much Temple Run, as much as you'd expect. you swipe left and right to change lanes and the turning is done automatically as long as you are in the right lane. To this end this feels less precise than Temple Run, since I can't change from one side to the other nearly as quickly. The screen feels a little too close to the character for my liking, too.

Aside from those fairly minor criticisms, I think anyone that enjoyed Temple Run and felt it getting a bit samey would enjoy this. It's just close enough to be familiar and just different enough to be unique.


And I have to (almost begrudgingly) admit, the game does look pretty fantastic. The jungle is my favorite so far (though this could be because I barely got out of it, hehe)

What if you don't have Facebook and you don't want it?

You're not forced to use FB, but a big button sits there in the middle of screen above the "go" insisting you sign in.

As long as I'm not forced to use facebook it's absolutely ok for me, I don't have any problems with a big FB button or ads, since it's a free game.
