Talking Tom is an endless runner for Android by Outfit7 Limited. You dash, jump and slide through the city as Tom, Angela, Hank and friends, trying to rescue them from the Rakoonz. It is free, rated Everyone and runs on Android 6.0 or newer. It contains ads and in-app purchases.
Free to play, with ads and coin-style purchases
The game is free, but it contains advertising and in-app purchases. It includes promotion of Outfit7 products and links that send players to Outfit7 websites and other apps. It also uses personalization meant to bring players back to the game.
Purchasable items use virtual currency tied to the player's progress, and the publisher says all functions can be reached without spending real money. In practice that means purchases are optional.
Running the city and fighting the Rakoonz
The core loop is a run through the city in which you dash, jump and slide around obstacles. The setting changes between vibrant cities, ancient temples, deserts and icy mountains, and buses are among the hazards to dodge. Tom, Angela, Hank and other characters from the My Talking Tom and Friends universe take part.
The story casts the Rakoonz as the villains who have captured Tom's friends. Defeating them and finishing heroic missions cleans up and rebuilds the city, which gives the runs a goal beyond distance.
Along the way you gather gold coins, treasure chests, power-ups, gadgets, suits and diamonds. Power-ups boost a run, and heroes can be unlocked, dressed in superhero outfits and upgraded.
Updates since the 2019 release

The package ID is com.outfit7.herodash. Outfit7 Limited runs support through talkingtomandfriends.com, and offers a support email, terms of use and a privacy policy for its games. The same publisher makes My Talking Tom, My Talking Angela and Talking Tom Gold Run.
