Imangi's App Store listing says you can play offline, anytime, even without an internet connection, and the Google Play listing calls it a no WiFi game with no internet needed. You swipe to turn, jump and slide through jungles, cliffs, volcanoes and snowy mountains, collect coins and gems, and use shields, coin magnets and speed boosts to stretch a run. Characters can be earned with in-game currency or bought, such as Usain Bolt and Bruce Lee at $0.99 each.
