INTRODUCTION\r\n################################################################################\r\n\r\nTemple Run is a game in which you control a treasure hunter who is escaping a\r\ntemple while being chased by hostile monkeys. You must slide and jump while\r\navoiding obstacles.\r\n\r\nDownload it from the iTunes App Store below:\r\nhttp:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/temple-run\/id420009108?mt=8\r\n\r\n################################################################################\r\n                                 II. HOW TO PLAY\r\n################################################################################\r\n\r\nA note about an in-game tutorial\r\n--------------------------------\r\n\r\nTo enable an in-game tutorial, go to the Options menu and enable tutorial. This\r\ntutorial will walk you through the controls of the game, and then let you loose\r\non a level.\r\n\r\nThis tutorial will be far more instructive than this guide will be, but the\r\ncontrols are below.\r\n\r\nThe controls\r\n------------\r\n\r\n* Swipe left - Turn left\r\n* Swipe right - Turn right\r\n* Swipe up - Jump\r\n* Swipe down - Slide\r\n* Tilt device left - Move to left side of lane\r\n* Tilt device right - Move to left side of right\r\n\r\n################################################################################\r\n                                  III. STRATEGY\r\n################################################################################\r\n\r\n* The tutorial sometimes has you slied when you could've jumped (or vice-versa).\r\n  Keep in mind that you can jump over fire and some other things.\r\n\r\n* I always forget about sliding. Don't forget about sliding!\r\n\r\n* To make sure that you grab all the coins when you're jumping, jump right as\r\n  you pick up the final coin. I always used to jump too early until I figured\r\n  this one out.\r\n\r\n* Some areas, like on mossy rocks and wooden docks, don't have walls, and you\r\n  can fall off the sides of them. Careful when tilting to pick up coins!\r\n\r\n* Don't be greedy! I often run myself off the edge because I want money -- it's\r\n  better to play it safe and get the money when it's less risky.\r\n\r\nWhat do powerups do?\r\n--------------------\r\n\r\n* Coin powerups give you some extra coins when you pick it up -- think of it as\r\n  a \"supercoin.\" Upgrading this increases the amount of coins you get when you\r\n  grab this.\r\n\r\n* Coin Magnet powerups bring coins to you effortlessly while the powerup is\r\n  active (it must be picked up). Upgrading this increases duration.\r\n\r\n* Invisibility powerups make it so that you only have to worry about turns --\r\n  your player is invincible and can walk on air. Upgrading this increases\r\n  duration.\r\n\r\n* 250m Boost powerups do the same, but they make you run faster. I'd say they're\r\n  not as good as Invisibility because you have to worry about turns at a faster\r\n  speed, and you'll miss coins along the way. Upgrading this increases duration.\r\n\r\n* Double Value automatically makes some coins double the value. This is good if\r\n  you consistently make it past 1000m, where this will take effect. Upgrading\r\n  this increases liklihood that a coin will be double.\r\n\r\n################################################################################\r\n                                IV. STORE INVENTORY\r\n################################################################################\r\n\r\nPowerups\r\n--------\r\n\r\n* Enable the 50 coin powerup - 250 coins\r\n* Enable the Coin Magnet powerup - 250 coins\r\n* Enable the Invisibility powerup - 250 coins\r\n* Enable the 250m Boost powerup - 250 coins\r\n* Double Value coins after 1500m - 250 coins\r\n\r\nUtilities\r\n---------\r\n\r\n* Resurrect immediately after death - 500 coins\r\n* Boost ahead 1000m at the start of the game - 2500 coins\r\n* Mega Boost ahead 2500m at the start of the game - 10,000 coins\r\n\r\nCharacters\r\n----------\r\n\r\n* Guy Dangerous - Unlocked\r\n* Scarlett Fox - 10,000 coins\r\n* Barry Bones - 10,000 coins\r\n* Karma Lee - 25,000 coins\r\n* Montana Smith - 25,000 coins\r\n* Francisco Montoya - 25,000 coins\r\n* Zach Wonder - 25,000 coins\r\n\r\nWallpapers\r\n----------\r\n\r\n* Temple Wall wallpaper - 5,000 coins\r\n* Guy Dangerous wallpaper - 5,000 coins\r\n* Evil Demon Monkeys wallpaper - 5,000 coins\r\n\r\nSpending real money\r\n-------------------\r\n\r\nAs of right now, the \"exchange rate\" from US dollars is as follows:\r\n\r\n* 2,500 coins for $0.99 (~2,525 coins per dollar)\r\n* 25,000 coins for $4.99 (~5,010 coins per dollar)\r\n* 75,000 coins for $9.99 (~7,508 coins per dollar)\r\n* 200,000 coins for $19.99 (~10,005 coins per dollar)\r\n\r\nAs you can see, it is a better deal to buy more coins at once (but why are you\r\nspending any money on this game at all?).\r\n\r\n################################################################################\r\n                                  V.
