The player can then swipe left and right to move the character on the screen. The left and right-swiping may be needed either to collect coins and power-ups or for avoiding the obstacles. Similarly, the player can swipe down to slide in the ground and swipe up to jump. In the game, many turns are present. For taking a turn, the player needs to swipe in the direction of the path.
If the player fails to overcome the obstacles or deviate from the path, they will die and lose the game. Apart from the previous obstacles present in Temple Run, Temple Run 2 houses new type of obstacles like:
- waterfalls
- jets of fire
- mine tracks
- zip-lines
Additionally, new power-ups are also introduced. For instance, the green gem can be used by the player to prevent death. The power-ups can be used by the users to enhance the skill of the character which is required to earn some extra points. These power-ups are temporary and therefore, it is advisable to take full advantage of it till it lasts. The three most common power-ups in the game are:
- Shield: Protects the player from wooden beams, flames, stone blocks and spinning spike wheels
- Coin Magnet: Attracts coins
- Boost: Makes the character run fast without facing any obstacle
