There must always be something different about a real game that you will become addicted to. Something that will make you want to play it over and over again. Not long ago it was a game for me Subway Surfers.

Sometimes it doesn't even matter if the app has a million functions or the game has 600 levels, but rather often how simple they are. Over time, with some games you will discover the simplicity or, if you will, the catchiness that I am writing about here.

You can also jump on a train, but you have to be careful.

The game Subway Surfers it is unique precisely in its simplicity. And if as many people find out about her as in the case of "Angry Birds" Angry Birds, then it will be a blockbuster. Just so you understand, I'm not an avid mobile gamer, neither on iPhone nor iPad, and my Game Center score reflects that. But if I come across an interesting piece, it won't let me go for a long time and I keep coming back to it. At one time it was about logosquiz, the end of October belonged letterpress and more recently the game discussed in this review.

You take on the role of a young adult who took his collection of spray cans and went to the train station. There he unpacked them at the first forgotten wagon and let his imagination project onto his side. He paints beautifully, at least in terms of workmanship and style, but as you can certainly understand, the station owner is no longer so happy with him. And no wonder. And so the eyes of the station guard and his faithful four-legged friend focus on him. You start to feel fear and run away. But escape is not so simple. After all, you are at the station, where it is very dangerous to move around. So you will have many obstacles in your way that will make your escape difficult. You collect virtual coins and other bonuses in the game, but thanks to In-App Purchases you can improve your score with real money.

The controls are so simple that you will be absorbed in the end and you will be tapping your fingers on the screen a hundred and six times. A traditional swipe (left or right) is an up movement for a jump and a down movement for a roll. Simply brilliant. But sometimes I thought I had made the gesture and my avatar still stuffed his face in the umpteenth carriage. It all just depends on your skill and speed of using gestures.

You also run through tunnels.

I will also mention a tiny, but often important, bonus. The game will show you three seconds at each interruption, after which it will start. (As I later found out with other games, this feature is a developer standard Kiloo&Sibo, for example Frisbee 2.) This is a big plus especially when you have over 10 points and the game is almost at the speed of fast-footed footballers. You just set up, 000, 3, 2 and wham, you're back to fast pace. Of course, you can get used to the pace in a short time, and although the game "throws you into a bandwagon", you can adapt to the speed.

I definitely recommend trying to play it on the larger surface of the iPad than on the phone. Although everything works as it should on the smaller display and the processing is just as great, the large area is better for possible "touching" errors. The game looks very simple and yet it is well developed in detail and it is even better on Retina displays. As for the speed, after coming to the Game Center, all the games (at least I tested them on an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2) are slightly "bitchy" before you are greeted with a banner, but after a while everything is running at high speed as it should. Linking through Game Center is convenient in that it combines and saves your best scores, whether you play on a tablet or phone.

If you occasionally want to unwind, Subway Surfers is a great place to start. But as you start to raise your score, you'll definitely want to beat it. I'm not sure if it's worth playing often. But it's definitely worth a try.

This is what it looks like when you're done.
