Fun Run 2 is the sequel to one of the surprise smash hit games of last year by DirtyBit. This bloody, cartoony, Happy Tree Friends style romp allows you to play live action games against people on Game Center or even against your friends at the same time, which, of course, makes it one of the best iOS party games around. Read on for some tips and tricks for Fun Run 2!
The main thing to remember in a run is to make your path as clear as possible. Jumping up walls is the way to get past them, so before you hit the wall, when you are approaching it, jump so that you can land as high as you can on the wall, and since wall jumps are short jumps, this will help you to get up the wall much more quickly.
Use your power ups as quickly as you can, but aim them correctly in order to maximize their effectiveness. Some, such as the lightning, will hit everyone regardless of where you are when you use it. Others, such as the jack in the box or the bar trap, need to be on the ground in an area where people run. Still others, such as the buzzsaw, should be aimed when there are people in front of you. If you are in first place, save them just in case.
Run over the speed strips any time that you see them. You will know where they are because they are gray and have a chevron marking them, so don’t make the mistake of jumping over them or you will miss the speed boost.
You gain coins after you finish the race. You earn more coins if you are the winner and less coins if you lose, and the higher the position you are, even if you lose, the more coins you win. You can spend your coins on new characters, new costumes and new accessories for each character. Save them if you care mainly about performance, though, because if history is any indication, there will be more power up boosts in a future update.
You also increase the rank of your character in Quick Play mode if you win, and your rank drops if you lose, so try to go for the highest rank possible, because the higher your rank, the higher your weekly prize is. The prizes that you win will either be a huge stash of coins if you are bronze, silver or gold ranked, a medal to wear if you are the second highest rank, and a new character if you are in the top level diamond rank.
