Subway Surfers

Not to be confused with The Chinese Version of Subway Surfers, only available to the people of the People's Republic of China.

Subway Surfers is an endless runner video game developed & published by Kiloo & SYBO. The player takes on the role of an average teen (or, on rare occasions, a young adult) vandalizing a subway train, and is caught by The Inspector and his dog. The player must run away from the two, who are chasing him/her. In the Update, they added keys (), which revive the character if they should choose to use them. The game is available on iOS and Android platforms.

Launched in 2012, "World Tour" became the theme of the game, where the settings are in cities like , , , , , , , and , only a few of the many locations that have been featured up until this point. The game starts with a default character, Jake. However, as players collect more coins and keys, they will eventually get the chance to unlock new characters and outfits. As well as coins and keys, they can collect hats, stereos, guitars and UFOs, in order to unlock Tricky, Fresh, Spike, and Yutani, respectively. Also, some characters in this game can be unlocked with Real Money.

In early 2020, Kiloo quit the game for unknown reasons. That means that currently, SYBO is developing and publishing the game.
