![]() ![]() In classic Subway Surfers, your point of view was literally from behind the back of your character and the scene in front kept unfolding depending on the progress they made. The perspective you get of the game is also very different. The game is set in landscape mode like most action games now, which means you have to hold your phone or tablet horizontally, with one hand on each side. This is not a game that is designed to be played one-handed or in portrait/vertical mode. You realise that Subway Surfers Tag is a very different game from the classic Subway Surfers the moment you load it. You still have to collect rewards and coins, and you still have your can of spray and surfboard handy. There are some familiar faces (you can play as Jake, Tricky, Yutani, and Fresh, each of whom has their own signature special move), you are still being chased by a policeman and this time, he has some robots to him. So much so that Subway Surfer fans might not even recognise it as part of the series. And it is a new game in every sense of the word. The game now has a whole new version called Subway Surfers Tag. It racked up billions of downloads and was ranked as the most downloaded game of the previous decade by App Annie, and even inspired an animated series. It had a bright and colourful layout and was accompanied by lively music too. All you had to do was tap and swipe (you could play it with one hand). ![]() You ran and surfboarded your way through subways, literally switching tracks, sliding under and jumping over obstacles, collecting coins and rewards for as long as possible, until the long arm of the law finally got you by the collar. Subway Surfers was a classic endless runner too - you played a hip youngster who was spraypainting walls before being chased by a policeman who did not appreciate your artistry. Released in 2012, the game acquired a cult following and was seen by many as being a slightly more hip and cool version of another "endless runner," Temple Run. Almost everyone who has played games on their mobile phone would have at some stage heard of or played Subway Surfers. One of the most popular endless runners of all time was Subway Surfers. There was often no real clear "end" to the game - you just kept on running until you fell off the road, or were caught by a pursuer, or something which stopped you from running took place. These were remarkable for being action-oriented games which were actually played with the phone held vertically (in a "portrait" layout, so to say), and very simple to learn - the main character kept running and you had to ensure that they kept running for as long as possible. They might not get as much of the spotlight in the era of PUBG and Call of Duty, but there was a time when endless running games dominated mobile gaming. ![]()
