Edward Snowden? There's a Temple Run-style endless runner app for him

With NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden having been provided short-term asylum in Russian federation, he's experiencing a crack from operating away from the US regulators. On cellular phones, it's a different tale.

Meet Snowden Tale – Evade from Den of Iniquity, the first cellular activity motivated by Snowden's uses. Released as a obtain free for iPhone, iPad and Android operating system, it's secure to say it requires some rights with the real-life tale.

"Snowden Saga - Escape from Den of Iniquity is a spy action game about Snowden, an ex-secret service agent who got wrongly convicted of a crime he didn't commit," explains its App Store listing.

"He has has escaped the jail with the help of some friends and now you take control of Snowden and help him escape the authorities that are following him, guide him through tricky paths changing gravity in a sci-fi world; don't forget to collect the top secret documents to get info on how to save himself as well as his country."

The game is an endless-runner in the vein of Temple Run, complete with laser-door traps and the promise of "mind-blowing 3D visual effects" from its India-based developer Moong Labs, whose previous releases include Slap Thy Neighbor, Jump Monkey Jump and the keyword-stuffed Viking Rush – Clan Defenders' Glory Clash Chronicle.

Is it any good? Let's just say based on The Guardian's play-test this morning, Snowden Saga seems unlikely to trouble the upper reaches of the App Store charts.

Moong Labs has done well to get the experience accepted by Apple company, though. The company has a reputation of rejecting activities depending on real-world governmental hot apples, such as the Northern Korea-themed Delighted Accomplishments, Syria-based Endgame: Syria and border-control satire Traffick Vehicle.

Snowden Saga's sci-fi establishing may have stored it from that destiny, while its cautious prevention of saying which "authorities" are pursuing its Snowden personality will have reduced it past Apple's App Shop concept that "'Enemies' within the perspective of a activity title cannot completely focus on a particular competition, lifestyle, a actual govt or organization, or any other actual entity".
