Play Giant Boulder Escape

Swipe to run. The boulder does not stop.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

A giant stone boulder starts rolling down a jungle temple corridor, and you are right in front of it. Giant Boulder Escape is built for fans of games like Temple Run, and it plays in the Roam app on iPhone. Swipe to start running, then swipe left or right to dodge the stone blocks in your lane. Your score is distance and coins, and the boulder is always a step behind.

If you like Temple Run or Subway Surfers

The setup is the famous one: an explorer, an ancient temple and something huge chasing you. Like Subway Surfers, you dodge by swiping between lanes.

The chaser here is a single giant boulder, the classic movie trap, so the danger is simple and constant. The temple corridor keeps you focused on the next block instead of on turns. Coins add a second goal, so even a short run gives you something.

Games like Temple Run: how to last longer

Look ahead, not at your runner. Blocks are easier to dodge when you spot the next one early.

Do not swipe twice in a row unless you need to. One clean lane change at a time keeps you in control, and coins are never worth a crash.

Zero learning curve

Anyone who wants a game with zero learning curve. You swipe to run and swipe to dodge, and that is the whole control scheme.

It is a good pick for short breaks and for younger players who like adventure movies. The temple, the fog and the boulder give it a film feel, and runs end quickly so you can try again right away.
