''Subway Surfers''[[note]][[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_surfing Subway (or train) surfing]] is a real (and dangerous) activity.[[/note]] is an EndlessRunningGame made by SYBO Games, and formally co-devolped with and published by Kiloo until 2020, for the [=iOS=] and Android, released in 2012. In it, you play a young {{delinquent}} caught vandalizing, and you must evade the Inspector and his dog using LeParkour as they chase you through the train tracks of your city. In 2013 the game was updated to go on WorldTour, traveling to various world locations.
