Subway Surfers is one of the best arcade action games of the moment, thanks to its impressive high-definition graphics, addictive gameplay, and regularly updated content.

Plot

Developed by SYBO Games and KILOO in 2012, Subway Surfers is an endless runner game, akin to Temple Run. Team up with Jake, Tricky, and Fresh, along with around 100 other graffiti artists who are obsessed with tagging subway facilities, and help them escape from the grumpy police inspector and his pit bull. Surf on hoverboards through the subway system collecting various coins and power-ups as you go which you can later exchange for jetpacks, floating skates and other perks. Just watch out for the sneaky traps that lie in wait! There are regular special events such as Weekly Hunts and the World Tour.

Gameplay

Collect all the coins you can: The main objective of the game is to grab the different types of rewards that you will find on your way through the tracks.
Dodge the obstacles: You will have to perform all kinds of jumps and stunts to avoid fences, trains and many other objects that will stand in your way.
Don't forget to complete the special missions: You can get a higher score and earn extra reward if you manage to complete a series of specific tasks during your run.
Be very careful with the enemy: The inspector and his dog will do everything it takes to try to stop you. His looks may vary depending on your current location in the game, but his determination to hunt you down will always remain the same.
Choose the character that you like the most: As you progress through the game you will be able to unlock a lot of unique characters that will join your team of graffiti artists. Among them we will find an Elvis lookalike, a skeleton called Manny and Jake the zombie.
