After surfing Subway Surfers...

Hello dudes,

Today I would like to give you a review of the iOS app of the famous game Subway Surfers as I had surfed it today.

You see the first thing I could not agree is the NAME of the game,

the name is Subway Surfers and where do we see a subway here? and the boy almost runs all the time, does he surf much? I don't think so. This game is easy if the boy runs, so a major portion of the players do not surf.

That is just about the name. Read more,

The start page design was pretty good but the "LOADING" symbol rather that full part does not suite the start page. It might have also been given a design and color like the first image shown and the loading bar would look splendid if it was any object like a skate board darkening as the game gets loaded.

The design of the pause and resume page must also be designed like the first page.

Now the game part,

This is an endless runner genre.
Subway Surfers is about a boy on the train tracks. He tags "Subway Surfer"on one of the train cars and the sheriff comes after him. You can collect jetpacks, pogo-sticks and more as the boy as you run from the sheriff. The boy must escape from the trains which could hit him.

The most ridiculous thing about the story or may be the theme of the game is that the boy jumps very well and even collect jetpacks on his way but does not try to get out of the train tracks, instead collects coins and comes down. Any way I support their creativity.

The technical part-

Some users are unhappy with this app because of the IN-APP PURCHASES in this app but this cannot be a disadvantage because many use this and this is not the only app with this feature.

The pausing and resuming is ok whit this app.

We cannot play this game while the device is kept in landscape(horizontal) position. If we try to play the game like that, then the app lags a little. If we turn the device then the app pause for a while and resumes, that is perfect.

There is a felling for my friend that the surroundings of the game are changing after long time periods. The app might have also have the feature to select the surroundings, what I mean is that the player could buy surroundings as he or she go further and earn coins and play in their favorite.

It would be nice if the technology of replacing the face of the player who plays the game instead of the animated face of the boy was installed in this app.

It would be more realistic if the train were having some names
(a place to a place) and also giving some unique design to every moving train (not needed for the stationary compartments). These
stuffs must be visible at least if the game is paused in that point of time.

An innovative idea for improving the game -

To make the game more adventurous you may use my idea - creating a shortcut.

Now how is the game, just train tracks, the developers may edit the way. A short cut could be created. what I mean is, a extra route must be designed. It could be like a hole or something else on the side of the tracks into which our hero boy only could go(the sheriff can't). The boy will reach much distance within less time and also gain extra coins if he chooses this short cut. After some distance the boy must jump out of the shortcut. The shortcut must be designed in such a way that he boy cannot stop as some other creature follows him and if he stops he may even die.

Some good things if the boy chooses the other way(shortcut)-

This would be more interesting, exciting and above all more adventures,

Gains more coin,

Travel more distance in less time,

after the boy gets out of the shortcut(if he), the sheriff would be far behind him and so could have another life, what I mean is that after the boy gets out and due to his carelessness hits an object(except a moving train) , this time he has the time to stand up and run again. I think you have understood or if not please type that in the comments column I will try to make it even more clear.

An example for the setting of the shortcut-

Underground drainage

This setting would be nice. As the area would be full of smelly sewage in which could serf here, this may be relevant for the name of the game. Lumps of junk or something else would be there so he must escape them by sliding only as the roof may not have enough height, this idea is optional, the developers want the boy to jump. Then this is the key area we must concentrate - the boy must not stop( if there is no sheriff following he may comfortably stop there and take rest). To tackle this some creature must follow him like some vampire bats or any drainage monster or... I leave it for the creativity of the game developers.
