Dead Trigger is technically classified as a tech demo, therefore it is not an endless runner. You should know better than that!
O Connector the wise, I thought your sarcasm detector was well-oiled and in a good, working condition. Guess it's broken down.
I haven't done all the runners yet but for endless, I have to go with Jetpack Joyride and PunchQuest. Ya know I tried to get into Temple Run, but it didnt hold my interest after awhile. I played it extensively but it was too easy to put down. Then once I got Jetpack Joyride, TR was deleted quick. Barry Steakfries is that dude.
Best endless games in my mind, top of their sub-genres: Best behind the back: Agent Dash Best first person: Into the Dead Best 2D sidescrolling: Ski Safari Best falling: Super Mole Escape Best puzzling: Polara Best fighting: Punch Quest Best top view: Tilt to Live Best match-3: Monsters Ate My Condo Best arcade: Super Crate Box
Here are some of the best non runner games for me: Eve of Impact The Blocks Cometh Hungry Shark EVO Fireball SE EPOCH. (endless modes) Pix n Love Rush MAMC Dungeon Raid Solomon's Boneyard
quite impressive that actually noone mentioned Run! game. one of the best runner games in therms of pure gameplay mechanics and fun. actually it was also in german appstore a lot of times in top10. also there is update with gc support so there are leaderboards and so on. somehow it seems it was not really popular in usa store. and there is also lite version. it's quite simple but there is really smart difficulty curve and a lot of small obstacles so it's really good.
