WASD AND ARROW keys. SPACE for hoverboard
Subway Surfers is basically a nonstop running game where you gotta keep moving or else you lose. You run along train tracks, dodging trains and barriers, and there's this dude—an Inspector—and his dog chasing you the whole time. You have to react fast because one wrong move and it’s game over.
The controls are super simple but tricky to master. You swipe left or right to switch lanes, swipe up to jump over stuff, and swipe down to slide under obstacles. At first, it feels easy, but the speed picks up so quickly it gets intense. You’ll mess up a lot in the beginning, but that's part of the fun. The game doesn’t give you much time to think, so you need quick reflexes or you’re done.
Collecting coins is a huge part of it. Coins are everywhere on the tracks, and you wanna grab as many as you can to unlock cool stuff. There are also power-ups scattered around like jetpacks that let you fly over the trains for a bit, hoverboards that save you from crashing once, and magnets that pull coins towards you without having to move. Using these power-ups smartly can seriously help you survive longer.
What’s cool is you can unlock different characters and hoverboards, and they don’t just look different—they sometimes have special abilities too. The characters range from regular kids in street clothes to crazy futuristic skaters. It keeps the game feeling fresh since you can try out new looks and styles every time you play.
The places where you run change too, so it’s never boring. Sometimes it’s a colorful city, other times a beach or even snowy mountains. The game throws in events for holidays and seasons, which adds extra challenges and rewards. So you keep coming back because there’s always something new going on.
High scores are the real goal here. You wanna see how far you can get without getting caught and stack up those points. It’s addictive because you always feel like “just one more run.” If you like games that test your reflexes and want to keep leveling up your character and gear, Subway Surfers is a solid choice.
