Subway Surfers is a super fun game where you run away from a grumpy inspector and his dog. You have to dodge trains, jump over barriers, and slide under obstacles. It's a game that's easy to learn but hard to master, which is why so many people love it. I remember when I first started playing, I couldn’t even get past the first few trains without crashing!

So, how do you play Subway Surfers? You swipe left or right to change lanes, swipe up to jump, and swipe down to roll. The goal is to run as far as you can without getting caught. Along the way, you collect coins and power-ups to help you get a higher score. It’s that simple to get started.

Tips for Getting a High Score

Getting a high score in Subway Surfers is all about practice and using the right power-ups. Here are a few tips to help you out:

• Master the controls: Get really good at swiping at the right time. Sometimes you need to swipe in the air to change lanes while jumping. I spent a whole afternoon just practicing my mid-air swipes, and it made a huge difference to my score.
• Grab those power-ups: There are a few different power-ups in the game. The Jetpack flies you over all the obstacles, the Super Sneakers make you jump higher, the Coin Magnet collects all the coins around you, and the 2X Multiplier doubles your score.
• Use your hoverboard: Double-tapping the screen will activate your hoverboard. This saves you from crashing once. It's a real lifesaver when you're in a tricky situation. I always save my hoverboards for when I’m trying to beat my friends' high scores.
• Complete the missions: Each day you get a set of missions to complete. Completing these missions will increase your score multiplier, which means you get more points for everything you do.
• Look for opportunities to score big: Sometimes you'll see a ramp that will launch you onto the top of the trains. This is a great way to collect a lot of coins and avoid obstacles.

Once you get the hang of the basics, you can start challenging your friends. If you want to know how, you can check out our post on how to play Subway Surfers with friends.
