Temple Run 2 High Score Tips

For those who are about to start their adventure in this much-awaited sequel of the phenomenal Temple Run game, here are a few tips you can gauge yourself with in order to get a high score.

1. Collect as much coins so that you can upgrade the "Abilities." When you are still starting, don't expect to get a high score rightaway. Using your coins, you need to upgrade the "Abilities," which will increase the value of the coins. As in the first Temple Run, the more coins, the better score.

2. Complete the "Objectives." Compared to the original Temple Run, the sequel has more "Objectives" and you need to complete one before you can proceed to another. When you complete a set of "Objectives," you will level up and will be given a bonus, i.e. 3,000 coins for Level 4,  a "Coin Bonus" powerup for Level 5, 5,000 coins for Level 6 and 12 Gems for Level 7. The objectives in Level 8 will take sometime so you stop there. At the time you reach the level, most probably you have upgraded the "Abilities" and you are already getting good scores.

3. Use your "Gems" only when you have upgraded a number of "Abilities" already. "Gems" are not available in the first Temple Run game. In Temple Run 2, the "Gems" are used to resurrect your character as well as to boost your "Powerups." You get them as you play the game but they don't appear often so use them wisely.

4. Select the "Coin Bonus" powerup. This will give you 50 coins every time the power meter is filled. And when it is gem-powered it will yield 100 coins.

5. Don't use the "Head Start." This is quite expensive but it does not do much in increasing your score. The coins needed in using one are better spent on upgrades. Don't use your precious coins in upgrading "Head Start" in the "Abilities" section neither.

I will update this post when I can think of more tips.

After playing Temple Run 2 for about 4 days during my spare time, the highest score that I got so far is13.6 million after running almost 32,000 meters. My Temple Run 1 top score is 20.2 million.

It is quite hard to get 20M in Temple Run 2, especially that the "Gems" used in resurrecting your character are limited. Nevertheless, it is as fun and addicting as the first installment and the graphics are quite better.

Happy running, Noypis!
