This sub genre delivers what are probably the most well known versions of endless runners. You're given a third person perspective with an over the shoulder camera on the protagonist. Temple Run sparked interest in the genre, and that has resulted in many variations on the formula. The games are often made for touch allowing you to swipe to jump, dodge obstacles, and more.
