If you hadn't already heard, Subway Surfers has started from humble beginnings to become one the most downloaded mobile games of all time, and it's just got a brand new update. Based on the art of parkour, it was initially designed way back in 2012 as a way to celebrate street culture and hasn't looked back since. Almost 3 BILLION people all over the world are running, jumping, surfing, and jetpacking their way to awesome rewards and hours of adrenaline-busting fun. It has dedicated communities all across the globe and even a World Tour where you can tour some of your favorite cities! You can team up with friends to grind trains to your heart's content, take off in a paint-powered jetpack, and use swipe-controlled acrobatics to perform awesome moves in a rich and beautifully designed 3D environment.

The game stars Jake, Tricky, and Fresh, a group of friends who will stop at nothing to grab the gold littered across the platforms of subway tracks, including evading grumpy security guards. Dashing and sprinting your way down the tracks, you'll need to watch out for the many obstacles put in your way before you can collect all of the sweet, sweet loot. Only the fastest and most agile make it all the way down the tracks against the oncoming subway cars and trains, but with enough practice, you could become a legendary surfer and take your place in the hall of fame. 

Once you've collected enough coins, you can start using them to unlock different boards, purchase special gear, customize your characters, and upgrade your hoverboard to give it even more epic capabilities. In 'My Tour,' you can collect additional rewards by taking part in daily 'Word Hunts' that is constantly updated with new missions. Subway Surfers is NOT 'pay-to-win .' Although there are loads of awesome items to unlock, you will never be negatively affected in your quest to become the ultimate Surfer. 

The gameplay is as exciting as it was when it when it was launched and is always being worked on to provide the best gaming experience possible. As a classic 'endless runner,' the controls are all about reaction and being able to dodge oncoming obstacles.

You swipe left and right to move into the different lanes and swipe up and down to either jump or slide your way out of danger. If you're looking for timeless gameplay, Subway Surfers' responsive but simple controls will have you bopping and weaving for hours on end without feeling repetitive or boring. There's always a new challenge to be had, which is one of the major reasons for the game's incredible popularity. 

Subway Surfers is suitable for children 7 and up and may contain some visual references to mild violence. That said, the game is entirely age-appropriate, and there is nothing in it that any good parent should worry about. A bit of rough and tumble isn't a bad thing, and the game wouldn't be entertaining without the added jeopardy of being given a bump. 

You don't need to control the acceleration of your character, you just need to control the direction and run away from the police who are trying to chase you, and of course there will be full speed trucks passing through, so you must be extremely careful.

 Some props you can buy in the store in different styles. Some props can be used single time to increase the coin multiplier. Treasure chests can be obtained in-game or purchased in the store, and the rest of the items can also be obtained in-game and upgraded in the in-game store to extend their effectiveness.

  Not only do you have to collect gold coins in the game, you have to watch out for the oncoming trains that will also keep you busy. In this process you can use picked up props, acceleration props that allow you to move forward quickly, and magnet props that allow you to suck up more gold coins!
