How to install Temple Run?

Question

Is there any way I can install and play Temple Run in Ubuntu 13.04. I have basic terminal command skills and don't mind compiling it from source.

Solution 1

According to the Imangi Studios website, Temple Run is not available for Linux.

Temple Run only appears to be available for phones (Windows Phone, iOS devices and Android).
