Angry Gran Run Review- Temple Run Main Star Gone Lunatic And Had A Sex Change
Oct 28
Temple run has an astonishing earning of millions, which resulted in a sudden surge of similar games invading the app store like Agent Smith in the Matrix Trilogy. With templates so easily available, no wonder so many game developers are latching on this trend.
Guys, remember when you were in the army doing some physically daunting task? No matter how hard you tried, your inhumane, crazy, love-deprived sergeant will scream, ” Is that all you got?! My grandmother can do better than you!” And all of us, drenched in sweat and physical fatigue will unanimously, mentally respond, ” why not ask your grandmother to take over then?”
Well guys, that line wouldn’t be effective anymore. Because this granny which we will be talking about, might possibly be the grandmother of one of your sergeants.
Angry Gran Run is not much of a difference from the typical “temple run”. We believe that the title actually gave the whole story away. However, we found this game oddly addictive. Knowing that it has nothing to do with the genre, we soon realized that it was all the other elements that made this game quite a winner.
The game starts off with a cut scene of a granny dashing out from an asylum and into the streets. Tilting left and right will have the granny strafing (yes, Counter Strike terms!). Swiping will have her acrobatically leaping, sliding or swerving to avoid obstacles or to negotiate bends. There was a little bit of lag when making a turn though. Not sure if the developers did that deliberately to increase the adrenaline. Look, crazy or not, nobody wants to see an old lady getting injured. Given her physical competence, it made us pondered for a moment how the hell did they manage to get her into the asylum in the first place.
No primate like creatures chasing you, your objective is to simply cover as much distance as possible while collecting coins along the way. Obstacles are pretty random, such as a landed UFO spaceship, giant tuna, construction workers dashing across the road with a 10 feet long glass panel and what looks to us like a rolling giant spray can. Trust us, the idea of having an athletic crazy granny avoiding random obstacles is way funnier than you can ever imagine. Granny? Jumping over an alien spaceship? If you share this story with your friends, they will think that you are crazy, not the granny.
Players get to unlock different power ups like dash advantages, or slow time, invincible sprints. But as we have mentioned, gameplay isn’t the key selling point for this game, but the graphic is. So save up your coins and have your grandmother wrecking havoc in a banana suit, or a zombie thriller MJ look-alike suit.
Another twist to this game is that you are able to run into punks who somehow, got fixated in your way. By crashing into them, you gain punk combos. Look, if your parents are at home and your parents are awake, you may want to mute your device. Upon crashing into those punks, your granny lets out an odd orgasmic-like wail and the punks will groan in pain. Sounds pretty much like raunchy bad sex, doesn’t it? We, at Gameographics, have only male game reviewers. And there were moments of awkward silence when we were testing this game together, hearing our grannies hitting on those masculine punks (yes, pun intended).
Verdict
Given the number of spoof temple-run games clogging in the app store, it is challenging to find one of such games, which you can truly enjoy. However, there is this slapstick humorous attraction with Angry Gran Run. So if it has been ages since you fired up temple run, or have been living in the rocks, not knowing what temple run is, give this game a shot! And remember, mute your devices!

I am a girl. And.. mute.. my device? Now that sounds uncomfortable….
High Dex Granny crashing down hipster gays while going crazy.
Summed in 1 line.
I think the first item to get should be the coin magnet. Grab all the coins, unlock funky costume. I saw wonder woman!
GAH! Getting sick of such games. SOMETHING NEW PLEASE!
The title summed up the game, really. I do wonder if such games still make money though. I mean, why not just temple run ya?
Graphics look refreshing though. But imagine having an iPad with 12 different versions of temple run. Not cool.
Damn, she behaves like my grandma. Always running around, always looking so busy. But well, at least she is healthy!
The review made this sound like crazy gran more than angry gran. Anyway this game is great. The tuna actually flips and skips!
i had the same game idea previously… now somebody stole my stolen idea! XD
Run, jump, slide, kick some asses. Even thought there are many “running-game” like this on the store, this is probably the best.. or funniest haha
Another temple run??
This granny is so strong lol
Temple run on steroids LOL!
Some athletic grandma we have here!
The music is so hynotizing. *Dink dink dink dink dink~ NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA*
Great game, nevertheless. But can we have something else in the app store other then angry birds and temple run?
Oh ya, I am getting sick of zombies too!
Punks? From the last screen shot, it is actually a lady!
