βAmazing graphics and it is so detailed and it includes maps from both of the 2nd and 3rd movies that just came out. Thanks for making such a great game, the best game to invest time into; it's like a better version of Subway Surf!β
βThe graphics are fantastic.β
βI love the graphics and the animation; everything's perfect.β
βThe graphics are bad and you basically just copied Subway Surfers!β
βAwful lag, horrendous controls, terrible graphics, and garbage progression walls.β
βThis game sucks; the graphics are bad, you have to hit the guy before you even reach him, the motions don't go into action all the time.β

The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ads, which disrupt gameplay and frustrate users. Many players express a willingness to pay to remove ads, but report that even after making purchases, ads persist. Overall, the game's enjoyment is significantly diminished by the frequency and length of the ads, leading to a negative impact on user experience.
βThere are no ads and its offline gameplay.β
βBest of all... no ads.β
βSuch a nice game, good graphics, no ads; I love it as I love the movie.β
βThe game is definitely on the better end of the running game platform, particularly with the environment shifts and goals, but the incredibly long (and ridiculously frequent) ads make it far too difficult to enjoy.β
βI would rather have the game free and go through the ads rather than pay a subscription.β
βUnskippable forced ads with no reward - you're forced to watch in order to play or you have to buy the game.β

βSuch a beautiful game, just with bad optimization. It's funny how I still get stutters when I have a very powerful device. I have a high-end Kirin 980 and 8GB of RAM; please optimize your game, it would deserve even 10 stars!β
βGood graphics, awesome game, but better optimization is needed...β

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it enjoyable and request longer tracks, others criticize it as unexciting and poorly integrated, with reports of glitches affecting audio playback. Overall, the music is seen as a highlight by some, but many feel it needs improvement to enhance the gaming experience.
βNice game but needs more improvement... and the music is amazing but very short, please lengthen it.β
βGreat run game, 5 stars, just jazz up the music a little.β
βThis game is fun but there are some bugs; for example, when you get to the part where the stampede spawns, sometimes the music stops.β
βThis game is fun, but there are some bugs. For example, when you get to the part where the stampede spawns, sometimes the music stops. Another issue is when you gain the whistle for the mouse and go up on the ramps with the rhino; it deletes the ramp (basically clips through the floor), and the enemy above is unharmed and floating in the air. Additionally, when you kill an enemy, you don't get the coin bag rewarded to you.β
βThe audio is really bad. The graphics are good, but the background music isn't exciting. The game is boring and really bad; I even encountered three glitches.β
βIt lags way too much and has a clicking noise that is just in the game, which is not part of the sound or the music.β

Character development in the game is criticized for its simplistic and derivative nature, with characters resembling those from a film but lacking depth. Additionally, there are concerns about the misrepresentation of characters, particularly regarding racial portrayals, which detracts from the overall experience.
βThis is just a bootleg of another game called 'Temple Run.' It has two games that are here for free and this is an exact replica. The only difference is the character designs and a little bit of scenery.β
βDwayne is not 'Caucasian,' but your character design has him wrongly portrayed as Caucasian.β
