Temple Run 2 downloaded 20 million time over the weekend

Temple Run 2, the sequel to infinite runner Temple Run, was downloaded in excess of 20 million times over the four days since launch. The free app was chased down six million times on its release date alone.
 

"We are thrilled players want more of the Temple Run universe, and we hope to grow and expand the game over the coming months," said Keith Shepherd, co-founder of developer Imangi.
 

The original Temple Run has been downloaded over 170 million times across various mobile platforms. The sequel is available on iOS devices at the moment, with an Android version scheduled for later this week.

Am waiting to start running again when it comes to Android this week.

Dayum, 20m from iOS alone? That's pretty amazing

I hate infinite runners with a passion

If the game came in physical copies i would blame MBP for 1 million of them alone.

I was one of them... I have no regrets!

I would buy that on PSN/XBLA. It is a lot of fun :).

I still haven't finished the first one :(

Never heard of it.

What you mean finished the first one. There is an ending. I thought you keep on running and than you die. :S

Yeah, me either.  I feel like phone games have a whole different world from PC/Console/Handheld games.  

20 million is a massive number, are these all free?  How do they make money? In game ads or something?
