Let me start by saying that I usually hate money-drawing cards and forced social interactions, and I get annoyed when I see them. These days, there are fewer and fewer mobile games that can make people calm down and play. They are all about various gift packages, battle passes, and rankings. Playing games is more tiring than going to work. But "Tom Cat Parkour" is one of the few that makes me feel clean.
This game is essentially traditional parkour, similar to Temple Run, but made more relaxed and stress-free. You control Tom or Angela to chase the gold robbers, pick up gold coins and speed up props along the way, and keep running to unlock new scenes. There are no complicated operations, just slide left and right, jump, and slide, and there is no threshold to get started.
The key is that it does not cheat money. There are no physical limitations, there are no levels that require money to pass, and there are no rankings to force you to top up. All the gold coins you save are used to build your own house. You can build it into whatever you want, purely for yourself. The feedback of this kind of "building a dream home from scratch" is very practical. The more you run, the more luxurious your home will be, unlike some games that give you a bunch of decorations and have to spend money to buy them.
In terms of music, the background sound of this game is quite light and catchy, and you won't feel bored while running. Different scenes have different styles, such as snow, desert, and tunnels, and the soundtracks all change accordingly. Posting this in the music section wouldn't be completely off topic 😂
If you're fed up with those so-called masterpieces that are "free to download, starting at 648" and want to find a quiet, pure mobile game that doesn't force you to socialize, you can try this. Tom Parkour can be played offline and is suitable for running around while waiting for others or commuting. No in-app purchases or ads? Yes, as I play now, I can occasionally close a pop-up window, which is not mandatory at all.
Recommended to anyone who hates spending money and just wants to play games. Go ahead and download it, it's free anyway, so if you don't like it, you won't lose if you delete it.
