How to survive longer in the game?
Focus on upgrading power-ups like Coin Magnet and Shield Duration first. They will save you in situations where you make mistakes while running at high speed.
Does Temple Run have an end point (completion)?
No. The game is designed with an infinite loop algorithm. The game speed will gradually increase as you run until you make a mistake and are caught by the monkey demon.
