The game received critical acclaim for its art style and simple gameplay. Notably, it was featured as a free gift during Apple's 2013 "12 Days of Christmas" promotion.
A sequel to Jungle Run, titled Rayman Fiesta Run, was released in October 2013.
Gameplay
Rayman runs automatically through the entire level. The player can jump - and helicopter later on - by tapping anywhere on the screen. He can also do a wall run and punch using the dedicated button in the bottom left corner once those powers have been unlocked. The goal is to obtain all 100 lums in each level. There are 6300 lums in total and they unlock downloadable wallpapers. The Skull Coins reappear here too, though they are only worth 20 Lums.
Each level has three Skull Teeth to be earned depending on the amount of Lums collected. The green one is obtained at 8 Lums, the blue one at 45 Lums, and the red one at 100 Lums. As soon as five red teeth in one world are obtained, the Land of the Livid Dead level opens up. These levels are much harder than the normal levels, but there are no Lums and the player only has to complete these levels in order to gain a red tooth.
The player can also try to beat their time record in any level, however, these times are only displayed if the player collects all the Lums in that level - except the Land of the Livid Dead levels where the record time can also be compared in leaderboards. If all of the 10 red Skull Teeth are collected in any world, it will be marked with a crown and show a small cinematic with Mister Death showing all of his teeth back in their place.
