Outfit7 scored a huge hit with its interactive character Talking Tom and Friends, getting more than 4.5 billion downloads across a variety of mobile devices. Famous for distorting voices, Tom is one of the best-known mobile game characters around the globe, and his game has more than 250 million monthly active users.

And now the company is aiming another big opportunity with a new endless runner game, Talking Tom Gold Run. The Temple Run-like game lets fans play with the entire Talking Tom and Friends gang in a single game. The title is on both iOS and Google Play, as well as Windows and Amazon. We’ll see if it has any chance of pulling users away from Pokemon Go.
