There’s something addictive about endless runner games like Subway Surfer. The thrill of dodging obstacles, collecting coins, and going after those insane high scores can keep us glued to our screens for hours. But did you know that there are plenty of other games out there that offer a similar (if not better!) experience?

If you’re looking to spice up your endless runner game library, I’ve got some great recommendations. Here are the top 5 Subway Surfer-style games you need to play—like, right now.

1. Temple Run 2

Let’s start with the granddaddy of all endless runners. If you haven’t tried Temple Run 2 yet, you’re missing out. This game was the mobile game before Subway Surfer even hit the scene. You’re basically Indiana Jones, running through ancient temples, dodging traps, and being chased by some seriously scary creatures. The game is smoother and way more colorful than the first version, and it’s still just as fun. The sharp turns and intense speed will get your heart racing in no time.

2. Minion Rush

Now, this one’s for all you Despicable Me fans out there. If you love those little yellow minions, then Minion Rush is your game. It’s got all the quirky humor you’d expect, plus the fast-paced action of an endless runner. The minions dash through all sorts of crazy environments, from Gru’s lab to the moon, dodging obstacles in their hilarious way. It’s goofy, fun, and surprisingly challenging.

3. Sonic Dash

I’ve got one word for you: Sonic. If you grew up playing Sonic the Hedgehog, you’re going to love Sonic Dash. This game brings all the high-speed action of the classic Sonic games into an endless runner format. The graphics are stunning, and the gameplay is fast—like, really fast. You’ll be spinning through loops, collecting rings, and avoiding those pesky spikes. If speed is your thing, this one’s for you.

4. Talking Tom Gold Run

If you’ve ever played Talking Tom, you know how fun and goofy that cat can be. Well, Talking Tom Gold Run takes that same charm and drops it into an endless runner game. What’s unique here is that you’re not just running—you’re collecting gold to build your own house. It’s like a mini builder game mixed with the fast-paced action of Subway Surfer. Plus, the visuals are super bright and colorful, making it perfect for casual gamers.

5. Subway Princess Runner

This one’s the most similar to Subway Surfer, so if you’re a hardcore fan looking for a new challenge, give Subway Princess Runner a try. It’s set in cities and forests, and you’re dodging the same kinds of obstacles—trains, barriers, and cars—but with a fresh vibe. The coolest part? You get to unlock new characters and outfits as you play. It feels familiar, but just different enough to keep you hooked.
