Chapter 116 Prelude to the Explosion
After Zhou Zheng installed the game, he couldn’t wait to click in.
The familiar short-haired woman's logo of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. flashed, and a character similar to the heroine Laura of Temple Escape but with black hair and black eyes rushed out from a temple in the tropical rain forest, followed by a group of monkey-like figures.
The demon monster is chasing, and the character automatically keeps flying forward.
On the way to escape, the heroine needs to avoid various dangerous traps on the road, cross the high walls of ancient temples, climb cliffs, and jump up and down in various terrains to avoid obstacles.
"This is the follow-up to that pv!" Zhou Zheng murmured to himself.
As the animation ended, the login interface appeared. Zhou Zheng logged in with one click and clicked to enter the game.
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment as soon as he entered the game interface. He found that the style of Temple Escape was completely different from that of the Fruit Ninja game previously developed by Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.
Fruit Ninja is actually somewhat similar to Angry Birds, which became popular last year. Both are cartoon style.
The character design and game style of Temple Run tend to be realistic.
Also, most of the mobile games on the market today are 2D horizontal graphics, but Temple Run uncharacteristically adopts a full 3D third-person perspective, giving people a super-realistic dynamic experience.
Zhou Zheng, who has experienced countless battles and played countless games, could immediately see the advantages of Temple Run compared to today's mainstream casual mobile games. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Holy shit, it's so awesome!"
"Zhou Zheng, what is your name? Be quiet and work hard." The supervisor heard Zhou Zheng's voice and scolded him.
Zhou Zheng shrank his neck and agreed casually. In fact, Zhou Zheng had already entered the game and started playing directly.
The screen effect after the game starts is exactly the same as the promotional PV and the animation that appears just after installing the game.
After a brief test, Zhou Zheng found that this game is more sensitive to gravity than other games on the market.
You only need to tilt the phone slightly to control the character's actions. To change the direction, simply slide the screen. To avoid obstacles, you can slide up or down to control the character's jumping and sliding. The operation is very simple and can be done with one hand.
Play.
After adapting to the game's controls, Zhou Zheng officially started his first game.
As a result, Zhou Zheng was hit and killed before he could run very far because he had no time to turn.
Zhou Zheng frowned. He originally thought that Temple Escape would be a game with as simple operations as Fruit Ninja.
But just after running around, Zhou Zheng discovered that this game has a very dense trap design, which makes people have to concentrate. If you relax for a moment, you may die. It especially tests your reaction and hand speed.
"It's interesting. Let's be more serious this time and run 5,000 meters first."
After saying that, Zhou Zheng clicked on a new game.
However, this time he still didn't run a few steps before Zhou Zheng was caught up by the monster because he tripped over tree roots twice in a row.
"Holy shit! I still can't believe it!"
So Zhou Zheng started another game.
This time, I was highly focused and controlled the character in my hand to carefully avoid obstacles one after another.
I have to say that Zhou Zheng is indeed a very powerful player. His judgment is very calm and he will not fall into a trap just to pick up gold coins dropped on the road.
With Zhou Zheng's concentration on the game, he ran more than 6,000 meters this time, and the terrain changed three times before he came to the mine.
But what Zhou Zheng didn't expect was that as soon as his character turned a corner in the mine, he was met by a collapsed half of the road. Zhou Zheng didn't have time to tilt his phone to adjust the direction, and the character fell through the collapsed half of the road.
,game over.
"Fuck! Is there such an operation?" Zhou Zheng slapped his thigh and exclaimed again.
This time Zhou Zheng spoke too loudly, and his leader came over with a dark face and scolded Zhou Zheng.
On the surface, Zhou Zheng lowered his head and listened to the instructions obediently, but in fact he kept thinking about how he could run further for a while.
I don’t know how many players there are on the Xingyuan application platform similar to Zhou Zheng.
In just one hour from 12 o'clock to 1 am, the number of downloads of Temple Run exceeded 30,000.
Luo Fan remembers that when Fruit Ninja was launched, it only exceeded 30,000 downloads around 4 a.m.
Temple Run’s one-hour performance surpassed Fruit Ninja’s four-hour performance.
Of course, this does not mean that the quality and playability of Temple Run are much higher than that of Fruit Ninja. What is more important is that the current total number of users of the Xingyuan application platform is there. It is natural that such results will be achieved.
Early the next morning, on the morning rush hour subway, which was crowded as usual, there were more people taking out their mobile phones and playing games.
They were standing or sitting, all staring at the mobile phone screen, completely immersed in the game.
Bang, the subway brakes, and the inertia caused many people to sway.
The touch of Temple Escape is extremely sensitive, and many people were killed this time.
For a while, there were several sighs in the carriage.
"Hey! I mean, buddy! What kind of game are you playing?"
"This? It's called Temple Escape. It's a new game launched by Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd."
"Do you want to spend money?"
"It doesn't cost money. We Chinese people can play Xingyuan's games for free, but foreigners have to pay to download them from the Apple store."
"Really? Brother, can you give me a download address?"
"If you want the download address, just go online and search the Xingyuan application platform."
...
Such common scenes began to appear in various urban areas in the country.
White-collar workers, office workers, college students, more and more people are starting to play Temple Escape.
Temple Escape is different from the mature style on the market. It has a strong sense of third-person immersion, strong playability, simple and easy to use operation, and a single game does not take up too much time. You can take out your mobile phone and play it anytime, anywhere.
A handful, making perfect use of the fragmented time of today’s young people.
In just one day, you can see people playing Temple Escape everywhere in companies, schools, parks, subways, and buses.
"Boss, it's explosive. This time it's really a big explosion! From the time we released Temple Escape at 12 o'clock in the morning yesterday, as of early this morning, the number of downloads of our Temple Escape exceeded one million in the Apple Store.
The number of installations on the Xingyuan application platform is more than five times that of Apple, and it is now almost 6 million! Boss, we are really going to be popular this time!" Xu Jiale ran in with excitement and reported to Luo Fanhui.
Luo Fan was also surprised that Temple Escape would achieve such results. Logically speaking, the quality of Fruit Ninja is not low. Both games were popular in previous lives and dominated various charts. Why is Temple Escape now?
Will it become a hit as soon as it is released?
Chapter completed!
