Imangi Studios and their hit game Temple Run managed to grab over 5 million downloads in just over a week on Android — a number I’m betting many Temple Run users still haven’t scored. There’s no denying its popularity and it’s certainly well deserved. Temple run is fun, addicting, and best of all it’s free! I don’t think I’ve managed to go a day without at least playing a couple games myself, and my kids — forget about it! The initial release did have a few bugs but Imangi was able to quickly patch those up and things seems to be running quite smoothly now.

When the mega-hit game Temple Run launched on Android, people jumped at the chance to play this highly addicting endless running game. In fact, Temple Run was downloaded a whopping 1 million times in just three days. Unfortunately, the excitement didn’t last very long for some users (including myself) due to random crashes. It was quite frustrating. I was itching to collect coins, outrun evil monkeys, and slide under arcs of fire. Only problem was — the game would reset after every run. Thankfully the team at Imangi Studios heard the cries of anxious adventurers and quickly pushed out an update.

Many Android users became excited, when three days ago, popular iOS game Temple Run made its official debut on Android. The app has seen great success on the iTunes App Store and looks to be seeing similar success on the Play Store. Today, it’s been revealed that Temple Run for Android has been downloaded a whopping 1 million times, in only three days.

March 27th is here, and as promised, Imagani Studios has released Temple Run onto the Google Play Store. This highly addictive game has been winning over iOS users for months and has been downloaded over 40 million times. It’s already been downloaded 5,000 times since it landed in the Play Store and I have to admit, the game is addictive. I downloaded it myself an hour ago and my kids have been fighting over it ever since.

Hit iOS game Temple Run caused quite a shockwave in the mobile ecosystem when it was released in August of 2011 and seems to be all the rage these days. Android users have been feeling left out as they eagerly await its release onto the Android Market. There hasn’t been much news up until now, but we finally have a release date to look forward to and that date is March 27th.

“We are excited to finally share the Android release date with our fans who have been so enthusiastic and supportive of Temple Run,” said Keith Shepherd, co-founder of Imangi Studios. “By expanding to more mobile devices, we hope to provide the same addictive and fast-paced gameplay to an entirely new group of players.”
