Interface Design: Experience Map: Temple Run App



In December 2011 temple run was available to be downloaded in the app store. The goal of the game is to save a man who is being chased by gorillas by running away as far as possible. The goal of the game is to be able to run away for as long as possible while collecting all the golden coins throughout the way. Once you have earned a certain amount of coins, you can choose a different person to play as the runner.
