How to play Subway Surfers?

An ‘endless running’ game (the player continually moves forward without stopping until the player hits an object), Subways Surfers is one of the most popular games worldwide. The main objective of the game is to collect coins and various other rewards while running through an endless game world. The players of the game takes the roles of a young hooligan who is caught while applying graffiti to a metro railway, starts running down the railway tracks to escape the inspector and his dog. Trains and other obstacles which come in the way of the player can be avoided by swiping left or right or by jumping or by rolling. Surfboards act as a sort of temporary invincibility but two respective hits while riding one surfboard will end the surfboard run. Players can increase their score multiplier by completing the missions given. Completion of these missions rewards players with bonuses. The game ends when the player collides with an obstacle and is caught by the inspector and his dog. To help the player on his or her run, there are 4 special kinds of power ups – Jetpacks, Super Sneakers, Coin Magnet and Double Multiplier. Each of these power ups can be upgraded to last longer with the help of the coins collected.

Okay, now that we know what the basic are, let’s look at the main menu of the game.

Tips and Tricks

I have been playing the game for quite some time now. A few tricks that I learnt by myself are – 1. Upgrade the power ups only if you have sufficient coins 2. Save coins to buy hover boards as these are life savers 3. Don’t waste your precious keys if you don’t want to 4. Complete the Daily Challenges as you get “Super Mystery Boxes” after you complete the challenges for a week 5. Skip missions in the shop only if it is absolutely necessary 6. If you are in tricky situation, quickly double tap the screen to activate a hover board to save your life 7. Save coins to buy characters and different models of hover boards 8. Complete the normal missions to increase your multiplier up to “x30”. After that, every mission set you complete gives you a Super Mystery Box 9. Try and complete the special mission under the “ME” tab. It will give you keys which can give you another try if you fail once.

That’s it. You are good to go. Just start playing, follow the tips and oh, don’t let the Inspector catch you.
