Disney and Imangi Studios are collaborating again with Temple Run: Oz, a mishmash of Temple Run 2 and the coming film Oz the Great and Powerful. The two previously played nice on Temple Run: Brave.

If you've played Temple Run 2 - and it would appear at least 50 million of you have - this latest version has the same running, jumping and sliding gameplay, but now with a yellow brick road.

The gameplay isn't just confined to the wizard's inexhaustible stamina; there are sections where players will be tasked with guiding a hot-air balloon. Unlike Temple Run 2, which is free, this movie tie-in will set you back $1, but comes with 1500 coins of in-game currency.

Temple Run 2, the mobile infinite runner, has surpassed 50 million downloads in just 13 days. This breaks a record established by Angry Birds Space, which went on to achieve the coveted 50 million downloads milestone in 35 days.

After its debut on iOS January 17, Temple Run 2 reached 20 million downloads in that first weekend alone; it was ported to Android by the following week and is also available on Kindle Fire. The original Temple Run has been downloaded over 170 million times, 2.5 million of which happened this past Christmas.

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.

You can slide, jump, and cart your way through Temple Run 2 from today, as the game is now available on the App Store for free. As for Android, developer Imangi Studios told Polygon it's aiming to bring the sequel there sometime next week.

Unsurprisingly, Temple Run 2 doesn't reinvent the wheel that spun the original to over 170 million downloads. There is a noticeable bump in visual quality, minus the occasional pop-up which thankfully doesn't incur slowdown. In addition to expected increases in obstacles, power-ups, achievements and so on, there are also mine cart and zip line sequences to mix up all that endless running a smidge.

Also out today is Final Fantasy All The Bravest, Square Enix's frenzied iOS take on Active Time Battle. It's available on the App Store, priced at $3.99.

Imangi Studios Founder Keith Shepherd recently tweeted that Temple Run was downloaded over 2.5 million times on Christmas day.

The numbers divide up pretty cleanly, too, as Shepard noted that a million downloads came from iOS devices, another million from Android and the final 500K from Amazon. Of course, this is all a drop in the bucket compared to Temple Run's 100 million download mark, which it crossed in early August.

We'd describe what the game is about, but from those numbers it appears you either already know or could simply turn to the person next to you and ask. Breaking it down, the free reflex actioner has had over 68 million downloads on iOS and 32 million on Android.

"We never imagined that the game we were making and loved would be so well received around the world," said Imangi co-founder Keith Shepherd. "The last year has been incredible for us, and we are grateful to fans of the game."

To celebrate the milestone, all Imangi's games released prior to Temple Run are free for a limited time. That's... well, according to a quick glance at the App Store, it appears to be all their games.

Don't worry, Android owners, this is the real Temple Run by Imangi Studios, and not the crummy clone that was culled from iOS.

The freemium game requires Android 2.1 or higher, and can be downloaded right here. Is anyone else still confused by "Google Play?" We get that mixed up with "Google Plus," which is also home to casual games, all the time. What was wrong with "Android Market?"
